I filled a bug report about it, see http://sablevm.org/bugs/149
(you can add youself to Cc: to be notified of any changes to it)

Yes, if you're willing to learn about class and  resource loading
weirdnesses.  I looked in BundleLoader.java source and it seems it tries
some 8 different methods of loading a bundle before it gives up.  I am
not even sure which is the one supposed to succeed.   This will require
further investigation.

Just to make things clear.  As everybody I also really would want to see
SableVM SDK 1.12 supporting Eclipse 3.1, but it would mean delaying the
release by possibly weeks.  This is not a regression, selected Eclipse
versions (like 3.1M1-M4) are known to work, as documented for example at
http://sablevm.org/bugs/Debug .  I believe the best course of action is
to release SableVM SDK 1.12 today and as soon as the problem with
Eclipse 3.1 is fixed we should be pretty much ready for another release.

Also remember that now we also do "silent" bugfix releases (e.g.
1.11.1-3) so really, as soon as the fix is known, backporting it and
releasing should be a breeze.
