Hi all,
I just want to relate an experience:
If two different UNIX users try to install in the same time, on the same
machine an eclipse feature through an Install/Update perspective, the second
one can't browse the feature site in the Feature Update view. Errors occur;
the jar files can't be read.
It seems that Eclipse creates and uses two temporary directories named
"eclipse" and "platform", under "/tmp" (Linux) or "/var/tmp" (Solaris), and
doesn't delete them. The second user doesn't have the UNIX permissions to
perform the same things, and Eclipse is not able to read the jar files.
The issue occurs also when Eclipse stop with an "abnormal" status.
A possible workaround, delete manually the corresponding directories.
May be, a FAQ or a Bugzilla report is needed ?

Bugzilla report is probably best. That should be incorrect behaviour in
a shared installation.
