    Dear Q, forgive me, if my reply is too long:

    Here is what fails:

    1) Install Eclipse 3.4.2 into e.g. /Developer/Applications/eclipse
    2) Change the ownership of the install folder to root:admin
             chown -R root:admin /Developer/Applications/eclipse
    3) Start Eclipse as a non-admin user
            At this point Eclipse works OK. It will use ~/.eclipse/ for user-
    based config files
    4) Install WOLips using the Software Manager in Eclipse
            Eclipse will fail to start when restarted at the end of the
    installation of WOLips

    Here is what works:

    1) Install Eclipse 3.4.2 into e.g. /Developer/Applications/eclipse
    2) Change the ownership of the install folder to your account (non-
    admin joeuser)
             chown -R joeuser:joeuser /Developer/Applications/eclipse
    3) Start Eclipse as joeuser
    4) Install WOLips using the Software Manager in Eclipse
            At this point Eclipse works OK.
            It will NEVER use ~/.eclipse/ for user-based config files.
            The folder ~/.eclipse/ is not even created.

    Thanks for trying to reproduce this. I appreciate it.

    Best regards
    Rudy
