If you try to run eclipse loading org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main from 
a directory not from startup.jar the method getRootURL return a directory
without a trailler slash '/'.  That way plugins couldn´t be loaded because
detectplugins method don´t append a slash before "plugins" directory.

So, I put a correction in the getRootURL see below :
*******************************************************************
Main.java file
*******************************************************************

package org.eclipse.core.launcher;

public class Main {
    .
    .
    .
    
   /**
    * Returns url of the location this class was loaded from
    */
   private URL getRootURL() throws MalformedURLException
   {
      if (rootLocation != null)
          return new URL(rootLocation);
		
      URL url = getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation();

      String path = decode(url.getFile());

      path = new File(path).getAbsolutePath().replace(File.separatorChar,'/');

      if ( path.endsWith(".jar")) //$NON-NLS-1$
           path = path.substring(0, path.lastIndexOf("/")+1); //$NON-NLS-1$

      //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
      //                 NEW CODE BLOCK                               //
      //  Append a separator if you load this class from a directory  //
      //  not from startup.jar file.                                  //
      //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
      
      if( !path.endsWith("/") )
      {
         path += '/';    	
      }
      
      ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

      url = new URL(url.getProtocol(), url.getHost(), url.getPort(), path);

      //  It seems that you don´t need this line.
      //  rootLocation = url.toExternalForm();

      return url;
   }
}
