I dropped org.eclipse.ui.tests into my plugins directory and started eclipse
(with -dev -clean) without first adding it's dependant plugin
(org.eclipse.tests.performance).  The contributions to the plugin were not to be
seen.  The PDE Plugin view did not show the plugin (even after Show Active
Plugins Only was unchecked) but it did appear in the about dialog plugin list. 
No messages were logged anywhere informing me of my mistake.
