Dropins folder in Galileo (newbie?) [message #486420]

I have two plugins that are homemade several months ago that I install by
dumping them into the plugins folder, and all is well. But after reading
more about p2 and the dropins folder, I moved these plugins to the dropins
folder. Now I get compilation errors because the two plugins are not
recognized. I thought the default behavior was that this folder is
monitored by Eclipse. For now, I just dragged them back to the plugins
folder and I can continue with my work, but given what I have read, I must
be missing something ridiculously simple. Advice appreciated.

There was a bug where moving a bundle from "plugins" to "dropins" in one
step baffled the resolver because it ends up both installing and
uninstalling a bundle with same BSN and version. I think is fixed in HEAD
now however a workaround that makes life easier is to:
1) remove the bundle from plugins and restart
2) shutdown eclipse
3) put the bundle in dropins and restart again.
