great to hear that it works for you
if you have some eclipse installations and want to share dropins,
then you can start eclipse with

-Dorg.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins.directory=/YourPath/YourSharedDropinFolder


and in this shared dropins folder you can place plug-ins same way as 
with dropins of eclipse installation

then P2 watches both dropins folders: the one from eclipse installation 
and the shared one
