However, my mileage did vary in that the GPE did not "work" unless I had the RC1 version also installed. The plugin simply did not load (no icons, no Google settings in Window > Preferences) unless RC1 was also in dropins. The RC2 plugin version showed as installed w/ both RC1 and RC2. Too, when both versions were installed, the RC1 plugin seemed to dominate (RC2 compiler complaint about the erroneous -style (?) switch sent by the RC1 GPE), even though installed software showed the RC2 version. A quick scan of the Eclipse startup log showed the RC2 plugin signature. I didn't see any load errors, but I'm not an Eclipse expert. Rather than futzing with what seemed to be p2 weirdness, I opted to install the RC2 plugin via the method outlined below.
