Build Identifier: I20090611-1540 Please see steps to reproduce Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install an eclipse plugin into an eclipse environment which is in c:\program files or c:\program files(x86) in win 7. after installing the plugin, you should have a directory structure like: c:\program files\Test\studio\eclipse\plugins\com.test.tools.branding_1.0.1 2. This plugin writes a file on startup to its own location (splash.bmp in location: c:\program files\Test\studio\eclipse\plugins\com.test.tools.branding_1.0.1\splash.bmp) 2. Ensure UAC is turned on 3. Ensure that the above plugin is started (you could make it implement early startup to do this) 4. obviously, the above installation must be performed with admininstrator privileges 4. log in as a normal user and start eclipse. when the plugin com.test.tools.branding_1.0.1 is loaded, it will try to write to c:\program files\Test\studio\eclipse\plugins\com.test.tools.branding_1.0.1\splash.bmp . Because of UAC, Win 7 will redirect this to the virtual store. 5. uninstall this plugin and then update to com.test.tools.branding_1.0.1.1 . now on restarting eclipse, this plugin and all its dependent features/plugins fail to load. You can see the attached stack trace in the console. 6. Everythign is fine if you use the -clean option to start eclipse
