Build Identifier: 3.6.0.v20100602, Build id: I20100608-0911

Steps to reproduce: 

Action1: 
1. Extract eclipse 3.6.0. I have used the eclipse IDE for Java developers
2. Launch eclipse in admin account
3. Install new software by going to software update site http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x/ 


Action2: 
4. Now, switch to standard user account. 
5. Install new plugins by going to Help->Eclipse Marketplace... 

Actual Results: 
 Now, i was able to see the plugins which admin installed in Action1, but i was not able to see the plugins which the standard user installed in Action2. 
  
 Expected Results: 
 In the standard user account, I should be able to see the plugins installed by both, by the admin as well as by the standard user. 
 

Reproducible: Always

I believe issue should be present even on Win. Its not MAC specific.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

This issue is stale and there is no resource to investigate if this is still an issue with a recent release.
