Kai,
perhaps this helps you:
1. remove all plugins you want to re-arrange from dropins folder
2. start -clean and quit
3. put plugins into new location, use a folder name you never used
before inside dropins with this eclipse installation
4. start -clean
if you're in luck the plugins are there

Hi ekke,
One pervasive question about p2 and dropins is why it doesn't seem to
completely "clean" just by using -clean.
I mean, why is this part of your step 3 necessary: "use a folder name
you never used before inside dropins with this eclipse installation".
I would have expected that if I did your step 1 and 2 (remove and
clean), then I could go ahead and use a folder name that I *have* used
before. Wouldn't it all be "clean" by that point?
