Mark,
How could you over look EMF?!  It's like a linchpin!  :-P
Yes, without the -debug, plugins will just quietly be disabled when their dependencies aren't satisfied... That's intentional because the platform ships some plugins that only work for Java 5.0 and they don't want folks getting warned about that. For everything else it seems generally not so good...

See this bug discussion on that topic: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=174515

Thanks! That helped solved it. I was missing the prerequisites for the "Eclipse Modeling Framework" and "Graphical Editing Framework". Interesting this doesn't show up without -debug...

Mark,

The -debug flag will produce more messages than you'd get otherwise. In particular it will describe why plugins are disabled. The -clean might be needed to make it reprocess all the plugins...

Thanks for the response. I've already checked the log, as well as using a new workspace. I'll try to continue trouble-shooting it a bit more, then will probably take your suggestion to try the WTP newsgroup.
Thanks!

Mark,

Likely it's better to ask on the WTP newsgroup. Maybe try the following. Clear the error log (using the Error Log view or removing <workspace>/.metadata/.log, shutdown, and restart with eclipse.exe -clean -debug. Then look closely at the error log to see if it's complaining about any plugins that have failed to activate...

This is very similar to my solved question back after the release of 3.3, which can be found here: http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform/msg66168.html

I'm trying to use the 3.4M4 download of "Eclipse Classic". Upon upgrading, it seems I lost the XML Editor (and other web features).

As I had installed the WTP/WST downloads into a separate plugins directory, I thought that maybe there was just an incompatibility. So I removed all my other plugins, and downloaded and installed the matching, latest WTP 3.3M4 release from here:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/webtools/downloads/drops/R3.0/S-3.0M4-20080105091323/wtp-S-3.0M4-20080105091323.zip
Before and after my WTP/WST upgrade, "Eclipse XML Editors and Tools" appeared under my Help / Software Updates / Manage Configuration screen. However, no editors appear available. The "Web & XML" preferences section is also missing from Window / Preferences.
I've verified that Eclipse is running under jdk1.6.0_04.
Is this a known issue, or is there something else I need to configure/download?

Thanks!
