[news.eclipse.technology.equinox] Dropins folder in Galileo (newbie?)

[J Michael Dean <mdean77@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have two plugins that are homemade several months ago that I install by
dumping them into the plugins folder, and all is well.  But after reading
more about p2 and the dropins folder, I moved these plugins to the dropins
folder.  Now I get compilation errors because the two plugins are not
recognized.  I thought the default behavior was that this folder is
monitored by Eclipse.  For now, I just dragged them back to the plugins
folder and I can continue with my work, but given what I have read, I must
be missing something ridiculously simple.  Advice appreciated.
