The order should be to present any available Quick Fixes first, and 
then if there aren't any, to offer Quick Assists.  But they're 
essentially doing the same thing, the former just being tied to a 
problem annotation of some kind.

If you were using 'org.e.wst.sse.ui.quickFixProcessor' literally, it 
might just be that that's an incorrect form of 
"org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.quickFixProcessor".  Could you post the part 
of your plugin.xml that's meant to contribute your processor?
