Scala plugins prevent Eclipse Help -> About Eclipse SDK dialog
Not sure which version of Scala-IDE (it's one I downloaded within the last two days from the update site http://download.scala-ide.org/releases/2.0.0-beta), or whether this is Scala-IDE's fault or Eclipse's fault, but when I go to click Help -> About Eclipse SDK, no dialog shows up, and the Eclipse error log gets a new entry (see below).
I'll report this bug to Eclipse also.
