Remove the bundlePool attribute from your p2 director invocation. When you setup Eclipse with a bundle pool, the metadata contained within your installation will have an absolute path pointing to the location of the bundle pool, where all plugins will be installed.

Subject: [p2-dev] p2 remembering installation location after install directory is copied?
Hi all,
I'm confused about p2 having a very good memory! I'm using Eclipse 4.4.2. I provision our target platform, then I take a copy of our target platform to install our product into as a test bed. I install the Eclipse test framework into this copied version of Eclipse but the Eclipse test framework appears in the original Eclipse instance!
Is this behaviour expected?
An example of an ant script that recreated this behaviour follow.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
