[p2-dev] 3.5 and dropins

[Andrew Overholt <overholt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've been trying to simulate some of the issues we're having with
dropins in Fedora (have to run -clean when upgrading anything,
can't update from 3.4.1 to 3.4.2 without rm -rf ~/.eclipse) with 3.5.

I tried the following:

1. as root, extract Eclipse SDK 3.5M5 into a read-only location
2. as non-root, run extracted Eclipse => no problem
3. close eclipse
4. as root, extract emf-xsd-SDK-2.5.0M4 into extracted Eclipse's 
   dropins/emf
5. as regular user, run extracted Eclipse => no problem, EMF present
6. as root, rm -rf extracted eclipse
7. as root, extract Eclipse SDK 3.5 I20090224-0800 into same read-only
   location
8. as root, extract EMF as above
9. as regular user, run extracted Eclipse => can't start up

I've pasted the error log here:

Before I go and file bugs, should this work?

Thanks,

Andrew
