[Bug 445539] [NEW] eclipse 3.5.1-0~ubuntu1 dropins functionality not working

[Dominic Evans]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: eclipse

# Description

The eclipse package has the following line in eclipse.ini:

-Dorg.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins.directory=/usr/share/eclipse/dropins

This is the standard way to define a shared location where eclipse
plugins can be placed to be loaded in by eclipse on startup. I have had
a similar setup working on my eclipse 3.5 binary installation downloaded
from eclipse.org in the past.

However, using the new eclipse package, this dropins folder does not
seem to get loaded in. Is the p2 dropins capability not supported in the
new eclipse ubuntu package?

p.s. many many many thanks for packaging and uploading eclipse 3.5.1 in
Ubuntu karmic! This work is enormously appreciated!
