My layout is as follows:
C:\_ECLIPSE
+---eclipse-ganymede-SR1
|   |   .eclipseproduct
|   |   artifacts.xml
|   |   eclipse.exe
|   |   eclipse.ini
|   |   eclipsec.exe
|   |   epl-v10.html
|   |   notice.html
|   |  
|   +---configuration
|   |   |   config.ini
|   |   |   ...
|   |              
|   +---dropins
|   |   \---oracle.libs
|   |       |   aqapi.jar
|   |       |   ojdbc5_11.jar
|   |       |   sdoapi.jar
|   |       |   xdb.jar
|   |       |   xml.jar
|   |       |   xmlparserv2.jar
|   |       |  
|   |       \---META-INF
|   |               MANIFEST.MF
| ...            


We've noticed that there has been some issues getting the /dropins 
directory working - I'm on
eclipse-jee-ganymede-SR1-win32 and its working, but when I try SR2, it 
doesn't. But Tom
is on SR2 and it work for him.
