Hi Jeff, The method you've outlined below will work. Alternatively, you can blow away everything google related in eclipse/dropins, and then unzip the RC2 archive into the dropins directory. There is no dependency between the RC1 and RC2 plugins. That is, one does not have to be installed on top of the other.
