No one is disputing that there is a problem, but to date no one has really
pinned down the cause. The feature does work perfectly for a lot of
people, including myself, so the "variable" that leads to the problem has
not been identified yet. Some people have indicated the problem could be
caused by case-sensitivity, but I really do not think that could be an
issue on *nix since the file system is case-sensitive. In other words, if
the wrong case were entered, the problem would be more obvious.

Can you debug this? Absolutely. Checkout the Subclipse core and ui
plugins from the /branches/subclipse-3 folder. Then use the Eclipse
runtime workbench to debug. I am not sure what you do if you find the
need to debug into the JavaHL C library itself.
