Martin,
  Try remove all in eclipse_home/configuration except config.ini,
restart eclipse and add extension from Help-software-updates-Manage
instalation
(right click on eclipse sdk,choose add extension and set
/opt/eclipse-extensions-3)

  -clean all existing projects

I have a problems with plugin cache in eclipse 3.1, too
