Classpath problem.

Perhaps you should consider assigning an Eclipse builder to the plugin. This 
way which builder(s) will be used (and in which order) is controlled by the 
contents of the .project file.

This is a bad plugin name according to the Eclipse norm....

You should probably take a look at the plugin deployment classpaths. It is 
possible to have different versions of the same classes in different plugins.

While I'm at it; I've downloaded and tried you product for a couple of days. 
It looks cool :-). I think you should remove all IMarker instances from the 
resource before building, not just your own. If someone has i.e. markers left 
from AE these will never go away the way things are now. Your plugin does not 
seem to contribute some help. I guess it's early days still, but I'm missing 
clues on how to get started with the debugger.
