I don't remember changing anything in my launch config I use to self host.

Is your launch config set up for "all workspace and target plugins" or do you have selected ones?

It launches "all workspace and enabled target plug-ins".

I can't reproduce this in a clean install.  Could you export your launch config? (save it on the common tab and then attach the .launch file)?

I can't reproduce it now neither :| Feel free to mark is as invalid, I will reopen if it happen again and I have steps at hand. I'm still on the same build, the only thing that changed is my workspace where I closed some projects from UI, JDT and PDE.
Comment 5 Paul Webster CLA 2011-11-14 12:48:19 EST 
OK, if you get any new information, just re-open and I'll keep looking.
