[news.eclipse.technology.equinox] Re: Installing via dropins/ in Galileo

["Simon Kaegi" <simon_kaegi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Anything installed into dropins is done "optionally" so it's very likely 
there is something in the EPP package that is conflicting with a requirement 
in the Cypal Studio.
If at all possible I would install throught the p2 UI as that should tell 
you what the conflict is.
