As you mentioned earlier, the /p2 directory is not created by the installer in the installation directory. I also noticed that the /p2 directory is created and updated [when the eclipse is running] in the install directory (the directory where the installer was). I think that the installer forget to move or, somehow, is not moving the /p2 directory to the installation directory.
1. I did not find a bug for this. Is there one to keep me on track of this? In RC4, I noticed that the /features directory is back. The installer delivered in the RC4 is not creating the /features directory also. 2. I did not find a bug for this. Is there one to keep me on track of this?
