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.
