Eclipse is only loading the JDT and SDK features for me.

Funnily enough, these are the only plugins in
/usr/*lib*/eclipse/dropins whereas all the other plugins are
installing to /usr/*share*/eclipse/dropins. None of the plugins in
/usr/share/eclipse/dropins seem to be loaded at all.

If you symlink the plugins in /usr/share to /usr/lib like this:

  $ sudo ln -s /usr/share/eclipse/dropins/gef /usr/lib/eclipse/dropins

Then Eclipse does a cartoon double-take and realises that there are
plugins installed after all. So, it seems like Eclipse is not looking
in /usr/share/eclipse/dropins. Is that the case, Andrew?
