Unrelated. In the bug I mentioned, p2 has a mechanism
to "lock" installed software so the user is not allowed to upgrade
it. This was used incorrectly which meant that the user did not have permission
to upgrade M7. Miles, I suggest entering a bug for the NoClassDefFoundError
problem. The error is occurring in ECF so that would be a reasonable place
to start.

Incidentally, I was surprised to see it reading a
legacy site.xml file during this error (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/staging/site.xml).
If p2 ever loads this file, it will be extremely slow because it has to
re-generate the metadata that has presumably has already been generated
at build time. I have entered bug 345136 to get rid of this.
