Remember that you need a plugins and a features directory, just like under
the eclipse root directory.

I have no problems with dropins folder
Ganymede 3.4.0, OSX 10.5.5
/eclipseinstallationfolder
.../eclipse
...../dropins
......./swtdesigner
........./eclipse
.........../features
.........../plugins
......./drools
........./eclipse
.........../features
and so on
and because I'm having two eclipse installations*
* modeling with emf, uml, oaw ...
* rcp, equinox, osgi ...
I not only have the dropins folder from inside eclipse,
I also have a shared dropins folder where I place plugins using in both
eclipse installations
the only thing you have to do is to place thgis in eclipse.ini:
-Dorg.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins.directory=/Volum es/xyz/e34shared_dropin
e34shared_dropin itself has the same structure as the 'normal' dropins
described above
hope it helps

Hi Ekke,
I read your blog and have tried your solution. I tried creating my own
separate dropins area, and it doesn't work for me on Mac.
The most annoying thing about this is that there is NO logging of any kind
as far as I can see. It's very hard to believe that anyone thinks this is
good work.
I'm starting to suspect that this whole edifice was built on Windows,
eventually ported to Linux and never checked again.
Regards,
Neil

About Eclipse - configuration details should log something like:
/configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository
/repositories/file\:....../url=file\:/<yourPath2Eclipse/eclipse/dropins/ <yourFolderInsideDropins>/

thats not reality - many of the eclipse comitters are using OSX
did you restart with -clean ??
I have many different eclipse installations on OSX (MacPro and
MacBookPro) and always use dropins folder without problem
one time I confused P2 after wrong input in dropins folder,
I deleted all from dropins, started -clean and did my work again
and all was well
