Hi,
I have not received any responses from this newsgroup (or any of the
other places I posted). But, based on a hint from a colleague and some
experimenting, I found out that it works for me if I put Eclipse in a
writeable place. In my case, I used C:\eclipse instead of (the more
logical [sic!]) C:\Program Files\eclipse. Now all plugins end up
directly in the eclipse folder and all is well.
I would consider this behaviour a bug in P2, or at least something that
definitely needs documentation. Where would I submit such a bug report?

Hi,
When running on multi-users systems, that isn't a solution for user
plugins :).
As for the bundles.info being different, the one in the user home dir has
the extra bundles that are installed by the user, and as far as I can tell
the correct bundles.info is being used. So that seems to be ok.
Did you post a bug? If so, what is the nr/link? I found some issues about
not having a dropin location per user etc, but not one about this problem
where plugins seem to be present (the menu items are all there), but can't
be selected as plugin dependency.

Hi,
I've been off-line for some time and haven't had time to submit the bug.
Was trying to do so earlier today, but am still waiting for my
confirmation mail for the bugzilla account...
