Have a look in the <workspace>/.metatdata/.config/platform.cfg file
and tell me if there is a
"site.1.url=file:/home/jan/.eclipse/eclipse/" like entry. also, your
installed features will show up there (feature.x.id=<feature ID>).

No, actually it should work when you are using teh unstable debs and
have the subdir(s) '$HOME/.eclipse/eclipse/{plugins,features}'. The
entry in 'user.links' should be 'path=/home/../.eclipse'. Eclipse will
add the /eclipse/{features,plugins} bit by itself (stupid, because it
needs always be in a 'eclipse' dir...).

/usr/local/share/eclipse/{plugins,features}, which is included from
the /usr/share/eclipse/liks/usr_local.links file (read only for the
update manager!).
Hm, haven't I put that into the README.Debian? I will have a look to
add it to the FAQ there.
