If using updater with main directory, relativeClasspath parameter in main.properties should be probably interpreted as relative path to user_dir, not to ide_home/bin directory.
Fixed in trunk. Relative classpath will be relative to user_dir/update/main directory.
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
