I have a plugin that contributes to the help contents via org.eclipse.help.toc ext point. When I install it using p2, everything's fine, but when I simply copy it into dropins, the topics are seen in left tree, but when if I click on any, I will get a message "Topic not found".
Note: p2 seems to unpack this plugin in plugins folder. Not sure if that matters

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create plugin with org.eclipse.help.toc EP
2.Copy it in dropins and restart
3.Go to help contents
4.Click on any plugin topic - "Topic not found"

This works ok for me using both Eclipse 3.7 and a nightly build from Aug 31. These are the steps I performed:

- Create new Plug-in project from sample with help contents.
- export bundle

- start Eclipse 3.7
- open Help
- close Help
- close Eclipse
- copy bundle to dropins
- start Eclipse
- open Help
- click on entries in TOC and view their associated content.

I did this with both builds.

Are there steps that I am missing that you did which would help reproduce this problem?

Please re-open if you have additional information to help reproduce this problem. Attaching a sample bundle would also be useful. Thanks.
