Just recently, I started getting the following error in my slickedit plugin for eclipse. Does anyone have any thoughts about how to debug this error. I can see the class in the jar file but I am not sure why eclipse is having a hard time loading it. My current suspicions is that maybe the jvm is throwing an error trying to load the class but I can't figure out how to prove or disprove that theory.
org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Plug-in com.slickedit.eclipse.plugin was unable to load class com.slickedit.swt.PluginEditorPart.
