Re: [equinox-dev] [p2] ECF bundles not up to date in M6

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pascal,

Strange...as I'm quite certain I checked 3/31 afternoon that the jars 
referenced in this map

http://download.eclipse.org/technology/ecf/integration/ecf.filetransfer.map

were replicated OK.  Even so, this was after M6 build (sunday) anyway. 

But this brings up a question for us:  If people use the dropins and/or 
plugins directory install, and they put a newer version of a plugin that 
already exists/is installed as part of platform, what happens?  Bad 
things/is this to be avoided? or can it be safely done?

Thanks,

Scott
