After this update was installed, Eclipse couldn't find CDT after start. All the plugin perspectives are missing. The same applies to PyDev, Vrapper and several other plugins, I suspect it's a bug in eclipse-platform.x86_64 1:3.7.1-7.fc16.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
eclipse-platform.x86_64 1:3.7.1-7.fc16

How reproducible:
Just yum update and starting Eclipse should reproduce this if you had used eclipse previously (I have successfully reproduced it on 2 workstations with Fedora 16).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install eclipse-cdt (with old eclipse-platform) 
2. start eclipse, observe that plugins work
3. yum update
4. start eclipse again, plugins are not found

Actual results:
Only inbuilt perspectives are available. No plugins are started (it seems).

Expected results:
CDT is found, C/C++ perspectives are available

Additional info:
After some digging around I found out that removing ~/.eclipse forces the app to do plugin search again and plugins are found as expected. If this really is necessary, user should be notified. Installing eclipse-platform fresh works as expected but the update path is broken.
