Description

I tried to run through the steps at http://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/tuscany/java/sca/1.2-incubating/updatesite/, but hit an unusual problem.
1. Create a new update site and select the tuscany feature from http://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/tuscany/java/sca/1.2-incubating/updatesite/
2. Accept the license but install to a location other than the default (eg. use Add Location...). installation succeeds so restart eclipse.
3. Create a new java project and add the TUSCANY library as described
4. Note that the TUSCANY library does not show up in package explorer due to the fact it contains no jars/entries!

When I tried this again and used the default eclipse plugins directory (C:/eclipse/plugins for me), things worked just fine.
This is an inconvenience for folks like me who use multiple plugin locations for eclipse...although I mostly just wanted to capture/record the limitation.
