[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: -clean, -data wierdness

My understanding is that the workspace was using a cache of information from
the old plugin.xml.
It was not actually reading the plugin.xml but just reusing the old cached
information stored as metadata.

-clean cleared up the cached metadata and forced a reparse of all of the
plugin.xml files and corrected your problem
