Hi,
Why are you installing the delta pack into your eclipse installation?
You should create your own target and point PDE to it instead of using
the running Eclipse-Instance as the target.

Why? Because that's what I've always done. Target is the same as host.
That's what it's intended for. That's why it's a Delta pack.
