[news.eclipse.tools] plugin projects must be in workspace directory in M

["Erik Johnson" <ejohnson@xxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone seen this also.
I have a project that consists of about 9 different plugins, however I'm
responsible for 2 of them.  As a result, I import the other 7 plugins from
another directory on my PC (c:\projects\src\) which is my local workspace
for our code control system.  My two plugins I keep under my
eclipse/workspace directory.

In 2.0.1, I was able to keep this configuration and debug my application as
a runtime workbench consisting of all 9 plugins.  I just upgraded to 2.1 M5
and this doesn't seem to be the case.  When I start up the runtime workbench
under debug/run mode, the plugins that exist in c:\projects\src do not load
and are not part of the runtime workbench.  As a result, my plugins in
eclipse/workspace do not load because I depend on plugins from
c:\projects\src.

If I copy the other 7 plugins to my eclipse/workspace directory, everything
loads properly.

Is this a bug?  I definately do not like this behavior!!

Thanks,
Erik
