To enable the logging of extra debugging information in Eclipse, there are 2
things that you must do.

1). specify/create a .options file
2). add the "-debug" command line argument when calling eclipse.exe

Several plugins contribute a .options file which contains specific debugging
information for their plugin. Two examples are org.eclipse.core.runtime and
org.eclipse.core.resources. If desired, you can also combine the contents of
multiple .options files into one.

I would suggest copying the file:
    plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.options
to be a sibling of the plugins/ directory (e.g. the same directory as the
eclipse.exe) and then run using the -debug command line argument.

This will generate a lot of information w.r.t. class loading and plugin
activation and may be useful in determining where the problem is.
Information will be put into the workspace/.metadata/.log file.

It would also be helpful if you could post the contents of the log file so
we can take a look at it.
