Yeah, I think the problem is that the feature validation doesn't take
into account the split install (use of .eclipseextension, etc.).  Ben
Konrath (CCd) would know more about this.

Plugins from elsewhere should function fine in interpreted mode (ie. no
gcj-compiled bits).  If there are bugs, they're either class library
bugs or interpreter (gij) bugs.

I don't think your crashes are caused by the split install.
