Yup. As someone else already mentioned, eclipse is very single-user pc
minded. :(

Oops, typo. And from here on I made a few more 'mistakes' as well; so much
for doing three things at once in multiple languages...
What I wanted to say was that the workaround for installing plugins
creates a nuisance. By adding just one dir to look for privately installed
plugins I got four entries under "current configuration" in the "install
configuration" view.
Since people won't need this functionality that much I think it's a
bearable ui-bug. No need to put it high on the todo-list; maybe note it in
the readme.

For this one I was just wondering if I was the only one to notice this.
I'll look into it once I have a bit more time; my final project should
be finished in one or two months time so I'll probably have some spare
time for coding again :).
Sorry for the confusing mail and thanx for the great work on this
difficult package.
