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

["Simon Kaegi" <simon_kaegi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There was a bug where moving a bundle from "plugins" to "dropins" in one 
step baffled the resolver because it ends up both installing and 
uninstalling a bundle with same BSN and version. I think is fixed in HEAD 
now however a workaround that makes life easier is to:
1) remove the bundle from plugins and restart
2) shutdown eclipse
3) put the bundle in dropins and restart again.
