install Eclipse plugins in home folder
Hi,
in the good old days there used to be a plugins/ folder somewhere inside
~/.eclipse .
One could put plugins in this folder and they worked.
For f11 (eclipse 3.4) I cannot find this folder anymore. Any ideas where
it has gone?
Also /usr/{share,lib}/eclipse/{dropins,plugins}/ did not work out.
Anybody, please?

Yes, this was before p2 in 3.4.

I don't know if it's possible to do it anymore. There may be a
directory buried in ~/.eclipse somewhere but I'm not sure.
Also /usr/{share,lib}/eclipse/{dropins,plugins}/ did not work out.
Why not? No root access? Try installing from the zip or local
directory with the update manager. That should work just fine as a
regular user.

Creating ~/.eclipse/org.eclipseVERSION/dropins manually worked.

To be honest I do not know what caused it, but running eclipse -console
showed a problem that might cause it: Eclipse seems to cache bundles
based on names and versions, so if you put a damaged plugin to dropins/
and overwrite it (what I tried) the new jar will not even be read if it
has the same version - no warning, nothing.
So Kids: Never try that at home! Always use eclipses install manager.
(and to rpm packagers: do not try to update by a new rpm release without
either erasing eclipses cache or changing the version of the plugin)

It checks timestamps so if you didn't touch I think the parent directory it won't update. This is the cause of the bug in the 3.4 series that breaks things on RPM updates. It's fixed (but not isolated so it's difficult to back-port) in 3.5.
