Comment 3 for bug 5438

On my machine, eclipse also has some difficulties when perosnal installation and installation as root are getting mixed up. I don't feel that this is bad. To my opinion the Eclipse workbench is an application for an individual developer. Therefore, system wide installs don't really make sense. This is not so much about Microsoft thinking, but about a clear line between individual developer tools and team/corporate project tooling (such as version control which integrates quite well into eclipse).
