This works for me in Eclipse Classic, but as soon as I download the JEE package I'll give it another try.

Hi Tomasz, nice to "meet" you again.

After downloading the JEE package, I added a couple of other plugins:
* Tasktop 1.7.0, Mylyn Connectors for Trac and JIRA, Extras and Incubator
* Using Market Place: Bytecode Outline, AnyEdit, Data Hierarchy, JDepend4Eclipse, Subversive ( + SVNKit 1.2.3 and 1.3.2)
* Atlassian Subversion option
* CheckStyle: http://eclipse-cs.sf.net/update/
* Groovy Eclipse 3.6 snapshot - http://dist.codehaus.org/groovy/distributions/greclipse/snapshot/e3.6/
* Maven  
** Core: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e
** Extras: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e-extras

The major difference may come from the new MarketPlace plugin.

What additional information I shall attach?
List of bundles or features from the system configuration?

If you could figure out what is different between your current installation and the previous one that would be useful. It would be even better, if you could provide reproducible steps that don't require to install a bunch of plug-ins. In other words, pinpointing the troublesome plug-in (if such exist) would be great.

Agreed. If I have some time I will retry the installation.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

I tried this in a recent release and its working fine for me. (I didn't even know about this feature.)
