Hi,

It looks to me like the old version of the plugin is making a mess of 
things, because that .jar file has been renamed to contain the version 
number of Qt Jambi.

Could you try running

	eclipse -clean

and see if this fixes the problem? In general, Eclipse requires you to 
run with that argument whenever you install new plugins so it can reset 
its cache.

Here's some hints on how you can make sure Eclipse always cleans its 
cache before startup:

To avoid dependency issues, these files are now contained in and loaded 
from the Qt Jambi package, so this should not be an issue.
