Eclipse plugins fail after installation (on Archlinux)
After installing Atlassian Connector in Eclipse and everything just goes to shit: all installed plugins disappear from preferences. The problem, as it turns out, lies in installing Eclipse as root (sudo pacman -S) and later installing plugins while Eclipse is running as non-root.
So, the right thing to do is either:
- run Eclipse as root when installing packages; or
- chown /usr/share/eclipse to the appropriate user.
