Issue APSTUD-4682: Placing plugin under dropins folder do not make him load under standalone Aptana Studio 3.1.1
After installing standalone Aptana Studio 3.1.1, plugin is not initialized after putting it into {{dropins}} folder. To make clear, for Aptana Studio 3.0.9 standalone it was possible to place {{features}} and {{plugins}} folder of some plugin into the {{dropins}} folder and after that plugin loads automatically at studio startup. That is documented at [http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Getting_Started#Supported_dropins_formats] and [http://www.venukb.com/2006/08/20/install-eclipse-plugins-the-easy-way/]. h3. To reproduce # Download [Regex Util|http://myregexp.com/eclipsePlugin.html] plugin. It is small and handy plugin and always worked with all Aptana versions. # Under Aptana Studio 3.1.1 placing its files under {{dropins}} do not make it load. Error log is empty, and Aptana starts as usual, but... without Regex Util plugin. # The same thing (placing plugin files under {{dropins}} folder) with Eclipse 3.7.2 (indigo) is ok. Plugin is loaded normally as usual. Attached file {{configuration.log}} is log info from Help -> About Aptana Studio 3 -> Installation Details -> Configuration tab.
