Sample update site

Build ID: I20080617-2000

Problem Description: 
Uninstalling a feature would not remove its plug-ins from the corresponding "plugins" directory. 

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Start Eclipse 3.4 (I20080617-2000)
2. Download the attached update site "com.acme.updatesite.zip" to your system and add it as a local site to the Eclipse Software Updater
3. Install feature "F1 Features" in category "Sample Category" from the newly added update site
4. Restart Eclipse when prompted
5. Open the Eclipse Software Updater for the second time and uninstall the feature "F1 Features", which was installed in step 3
5. Restart Eclipse for the second time when prompted

Expected Behavior: Both the feature "F1 Features" (com.acme.p1_1.0.0.jar) and its plug-in "com.acme.p1_1.0.0.jar" should've been removed from the corresponding "features" and "plugins" directory respectively since the particular feature was uninstalled in step 5

Actual Behavior: The feature "F1 Features" (com.acme.p1_1.0.0.jar) has been removed from the corresponding "features" directory (good), but the plug-in "com.acme.p1_1.0.0.jar" has left intact in the corresponding "plugins" directory. 

Note that the functionality of the plug-in "com.acme.p1_1.0.0.jar" has been removed from the Eclipse shell (i.e. platform.xml) after the uninstallation even though the particular plug-in JAR is physically available in the corresponding “plugins” directory (good).
