Can you try a tarball from here:

  http://git.eclipse.org/c/linuxtools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.eclipse-build.git/commit/?id=b880d718e451d254f344d2290dcd58ff2b0f3f23

?  Please let me know if the label is now correct.

Chris Aniszczyk did this work because there were issues with the
behaviour of stuff in dropins if this was installed.  Have you looked at
how it's done in Fedora to see how it works there?

I suspect you're hitting these bugs:

  345060: [eclipse-build] install target fails
  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=345060

  345053: eclipse-build failed to install with empty destDir
  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=345053

Yes, that would be awesome!  Please open a bug [1] and either attach
patches or point to a SHA-1 in a public git repo somewhere that you want
us to pull.  We'd greatly appreciate the contributions!

I suspect the install target behaves differently than the
installSDKinDropins target which is used by Fedora where this scenario
works.  Can you try that target and see what happens?
