You don't have the a matching feature. That could be it, but I'm not sure. 
You can also try starting eclipse witth the -clean switch. Looking at the
<workspace>/.metadata/.log could also give you some hints.

For debugging/testing in general it is often easier to launch Eclipse from
eclipse (Run As) without reinstalling.
