No run configurations

Hey all,
    I've not been lurking for very long, but I'll put in my speak anyway :)
I run Eclipse 3.0.2 (vanilla) on Sun's JDK 1.5 and the
ultra-cool-eclipse 3.1.0 (Fedora rawhide) on gcj (Red Hat 4.0.0-6) on
the same workspace.
    When running ultra-cool-eclipse I have no run configurations.  It's
also not possible to add a new run configuration as the "New" button in
the Run->Run dialog is grey'ed out.
    I also don't have a syntax highlighting editor.  I get a plain text
editor with no nice colours.
    Are these problems cause by me running two versions of Eclipse on the
same workspace?  Or are they well known issues? Or is is something else?

I haven't seen anything like this.  We have seen issues where ~/.eclipse
caused problems when Eclipse was run with multiple JVMs.  Maybe try
removing that directory entirely before running?  There could also be some
differences between 3.0.2 and 3.1 that are causing issues.

Quite possibly. Try passing the -data option to eclipse to select a 
different workspace for each version e.g.

eclipse -data $HOME/workspace31

/usr/local/eclipse/eclipse -data $HOME/workspace30

That's what I do.  I've deleted the ~/.eclipse dir as previously
suggested.  That didn't fix the problem.  I still can't create Run
configurations.  I also deleted ~/workspace, which didn't help either.
I've the following packages installed
[balor@mowa423-lxajd9 ajd9]$ rpm -qa | grep eclipse
eclipse-ecj-3.1.0_fc-0.M6.18
eclipse-platform-3.1.0_fc-0.M6.18
eclipse-ecj-3.1.0_fc-0.M6.16
eclipse-platform-3.1.0_fc-0.M6.16

The issue with the editor seems to be

"Unable to create editor. This message may be due to a bug in the
editor, not a problem with the file you are trying to edit. First close
this error message and then use "Open With..." to open the file in a
different editor. Reason for the failure: No editor descriptor for id

Hi,

Could you file a bug about this in the Red Hat bugzilla (Fedora Core -
Eclipse)? This type of thing tends to get lost on mailing lists.

Thanks, Ben

I hate filing un-researched bugs.  However research shows me that my
system is foobared.  I've got some rpm problems.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.devel/25391

This is probably the cause of my malcontent.

You seem to have two versions installed simultaneously. That isn't
supposed to happen under normal circumstances I think. Also isn't
eclipse-jdt missing?
