UI plugin won't assign correct path when installed outside the 'plugins'
directory, (in another extension location directory).

Key: DERBY-3196
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3196
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Eclipse Plug-in
Affects Versions: 10.3.1.4
Environment: Windows 2000, Eclipse 3.3.1.1, Derby Plugin 10.3.1.4
Reporter: Julen Parra
When installing the plugins in a directory other than the "plugins" directory,
and setting the Derby nature to a project, the UI plugin will ignore that fact,
and modify the classpath or the project as if the jar files were in the
"plugins" directory.
How to reproduce:
Download and install both Derby plugins in a extension location, different from
the plugins directory. To set up an alternative extension location, follow the
instructions in:
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-ecl-manage/
Start Eclipse, select a project and select the "Apache Derby->Add Apache Derby
Nature" context menu option.
The project builds now with errors, as the system cannot find the derby jar
files in the "ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins" directory.
Opening the classpath of the project, the jar files are added with the
ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins path, even if they aren't there.
Solution:
The "Add Apache Derby Nature" should take into account the actual position of
the plugins when changing the plugin.
Workaround:
Manually modify the Classpath. Add a new classpath variable called DERBY_HOME
with the real directory where the derby jar files are located. Extend that
variable with the jar files.
