I finally discovered what has been goin wrong for me: MyEclipse doesn’t use the standard “c:\eclipse” folder location for the plugins and stuff, even though there was a “dropins” folder in the “c:\eclipse” folder. In fact, all the plugins and such are actually found in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Genuitec\Common” and “C:\Program Files (x86)\Genuitec\Profiles\MyEclipse 8.0\dropins”. I was not able to find any documentation that described this in any of my searches, so I assumed MyEclipse would be setup just like standard Eclipse, hence my extreme frustration. Any way the documentation bits that describe installing “dropins” could mention that MyEclipse uses non-standard folders? I’d have a full week of work done had I not wasted so much time getting the IDE running correctly.
