Hello,

I tracked down same problem recently. See bug 285743
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=285743) for patch.

What happens is that P2 fails to correctly setup osgi.install.area,
because it doesn't strip 'plugins' part from the path. I saw this happen
when eclipse.ini file in target directory didn't have '-startup' option
in it.

Take a look into your eclipse.ini file if it contains -startup option
like this:

> -startup
> plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819.jar
