R3.7.1

After performing a director install using the bundle pool option and installing extra features, the extra features are deleted when launching Eclipse with the -clean arg. This is because they are stored in the config area in the osgi/bundles folder.

- Install the Platform IDE using the director and the arguments specified in [1]. (note change the repo location to be the real R3.7.1 repo)
- start Eclipse from destination
- install a new feature
- note that the feature is installed into location [2]
- start Eclipse with -clean

Note that Help -> About -> Installation Details says that the feature is still installed but it is not in the list of installed features (or plug-ins) in the other config tabs.

The profile property values are listed in [3].
