Why eclipse plugin doesnt start - log ?

Question

I have plugin that doesnt start(from dropins, with eclipse -clean), however its not even mentioned in

workspace\.metadata\.log

Is there any log that says why plugin doesnt start?

I think the problem is that too new API is used.

Have you taken a look at the Host OSGi Console?

Here are some tutorials/articles that will hopefully help you figure things out:
