Hi!

As soon as I copy plugins to M6's plugins directory eclipse fails to
startup:

eclipse keeps to fail (with the same exception) after I removed the plugin
from the directory (?). The only thing that seems to help is remove eclipse
completely and unpack it again.

The same exception is thrown if I access rights for the eclipse directory
are set to root:root. So, eclipse tries to write to its own directory?

And it does so, too if I install plugins via Update Site (AspectJ, JBoss
IDE, ...).

Please open a bug and describe the exact steps to reproduce the problem, as
well as JDK, OS, etc.

If the eclipse install directory is writeable then eclipse will write its
configuration info in the eclipse/.config folder.
Try removing .config and restart eclipse, it may help.

I have seen this problem on Windows. The steps to reproduce are similar
but not exactly the same (if you post the bug I will add this information):

- Copy via file system a new feature (including plugins).

- Start Eclipse.

- Enable the feature via Configuration Manager.

- Work with the plugin...... start and stop Eclipse n times (normal
work).

- Stop Eclipse.

- Delete via file system the new feature (including plugins).

Eclipse won't start again with the same exception you posted.

These steps worked fine with previous milestones of 3.0 and previous
versions.

Regards,

Chemi.

Dorian, in the similar case I commented in this thread on Windows XP,
deleting .config folder let Eclipse start again.
This .config directory is new, right? It was not present on R2.x; Which
is it purpose? Is there any doc about it?

Thanks,

Chemi.
