After looking into this I realized that we cannot move forward with the
reconciler solution.
The issue here is not the old issue of plugins not being installed
properly using eclipse's installation system p2, but having plugins
installed in two different locations each with it's own metadata. The
first location being system directories used by rpm such as
/usr/share/eclipse/ and the location used by the eclipse installation
system ~/.eclipse. When there is a conflict between the two location
eclipse simply picks the system installation resulting in the downloaded
plugin and all downloaded plugins to be dropped.
We are working on a better solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Sami
