Re: [platform-core-dev] Problem in eclipse 3.0

If you are installing extra plugins
over the basic Eclipse install, you should either:

a) Use the update manager (Help >
Software Updates). This would require the third party plugin to be located
on an update site, or be packaged as a product extension.
b) Drop the extra plugin into the plugins
directory, and then start eclipse with the "-clean" command line
argument. This will force Eclipse to search for an install all plugins
in the plugins directory.
