[p2-dev] more feature patch installation woes

[Andrew Eisenberg <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

A short while ago, I mentioned some problems that some of my users are
having when trying to install Groovy-Eclipse into a read-only
directory (Groovy-Eclipse ships with a feature match for jdt.core).
There is another problem, that is happening that is perhaps even more
perplexing.  After some windows users install Groovy-Eclipse, the
entry for org.eclipse.jdt.core is removed from the bundles.info file
(it should have been replaced with the new entry for the patched
jdt.core bundle).  Unfortunately, I can't reproduce it myself, but I
am wondering if anyone has any idea what is happening here.

I just raised https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=334012.

Here is the original issue about read-only installations:

I am a bit perplexed as to what is happening here.  Any ideas?

thanks,
