On my machine I downloaded eclipse-SDK-3.4RC2-win32 and unzipped it.
Then I ran eclipse.exe and used the update site to install my plugin.
Worked great: lots of things happened, then I had my new plugin working.
Then I had Brave User #1 reproduce this procedure. All good until the
last step, actually using the new plugin. It does not show up in the
UI! No pref pages, context menu entries etc.
The plugin shows up in Window-ShowView->PDE->plugins. There is a
directory in the plugins/ folder with my stuff. The Error Log has no
related error messages.
How can I diagnose this and get it to work?
John.

Thanks Eric. That didn't work. But you did encourage me ;-).
I found a way to debug it:
Window.ShowView.Other.PDE Runtime.PluginRegistry.
Right click, Show Advanced Operations.
Right click on plugin: Start.
Window.ShowView.ErrorLog
There I can read the problem:
> The bundle could not be resolved. Reason: Missing Constraint: Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: J2SE-1.5
So simple. I should have guessed ;-)
