Creating ~/.eclipse/org.eclipse<VERSION>/dropins manually worked.

To be honest I do not know what caused it, but running eclipse -console
showed a problem that might cause it: Eclipse seems to cache bundles
based on names and versions, so if you put a damaged plugin to dropins/
and overwrite it (what I tried) the new jar will not even be read if it
has the same version - no warning, nothing.
So Kids: Never try that at home! Always use eclipses install manager.
(and to rpm packagers: do not try to update by a new rpm release without
either erasing eclipses cache or changing the version of the plugin)
