Start Eclipse with the -debug option (either on the command line or in
eclipse.ini). You probably should use the -clean option, too, to flush
the cache of plugin info. Oh, and run Eclipse with java.exe instead of
javaw.exe, which will give you the system.out/system.err console window
to look at.
Hope this helps,
Eric
