Yes, that fixed it.
Why is pde required?
It's not, but there's a problem with something being put into the pde
sub-package when it shouldn't be. This messes up a lot of the things
that are installed into dropins (everything but the platform itself).
There are a number of related reports for this:
Eclipse won't load other plugins
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=665249
Missing components for Mylyn and PyDev
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=684894
... and probably a few more. It *appears* that this only happens on
x86_64 but Alex is looking into it. There's also the issue of things
only showing up after the second startup of Eclipse.
