Build Identifier: I20090611-1540

Whenever I tried to install any plugin, Eclipse (3.5.0) throws an error stating,

The selected wizard could not be started.
  Plug-in org.cfeclipse.cfml was unable to load class org.cfeclipse.cfml.wizards.cfmlwizard.NewCFMLWizard.
  org.cfeclipse.cfml.wizards.cfmlwizard.NewCFMLWizard

(This error occured while I was trying to install the "CFEclipse" plugin, the same occurs for every other plugin(s)).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto "Help -> Install new software"
2. Type (without quotes) "http://www.cfeclipse.org/update-archive/" in the "Work with" textbox.
3. Click "Add" and then try the "Test Connection" button.

I am able to install the plug-ins on Eclipse 3.5.2. Unfortunately the first thing I tried to do revealed a NullPointerException in the CF Eclipse plug-in.

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.cfeclipse.cfml.editors.actions.LoadScribblePadAction.run(LoadScribblePadAction.java:160)
at org.eclipse.ui.internal.PluginAction.runWithEvent(PluginAction.java:251)

Are you really getting that message when trying to install the bundles? We shouldn't be doing any class loads for CF Eclipse plug-ins during the install phase. From the error message below I would guess that the plug-ins were installed correctly, but you are having problems using the plug-ins' functionality and creating new projects. Is there any more information in the log file? (Error Log view)
