[news.eclipse.technology.equinox] How to add plugins manually (3.5M4)?

[dj.escay@xxxxxxxxx (R.M.Morrien )]

Hi,

how do I add features and plugins mannually to eclipse?

For example I dowloaded EclipseMe and extracted the feature and plugins 
into 
the eclipse/feature and eclipse/plugin folder, but when I start eclipse 
(with -clean) I do not see the plugins.

Plugins that have been installed via the wizard are loaded.

I noticed that the osgi.bundles list in 
org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator/bundles.info does not list my 
manually added plugins. Do I have to force an update of bundles.info? If 
so, how do I do that?

In the past (Eclipse 3.3?) I could just extract the files into the 
eclipse/feature and eclipse/plugin folder.

I do not want to update bundles.info manually, and I do not want to use 
the wizard to install my plugins.

Thank you,

Martijn
