This problem occurs on 3.1.2.
I have a popup menu item whose visibility is controlled by a content type
specified in my plugin (the content type uses
XMLRootElementContentDescriber).
Everything works great when I install my plugin by itself. However, if I
install other plugins that have XML related plugins (like oXygen or
MyEclipseIDE), my popup menu item is never visible again.
If I remove the <visibility> element in my plugin.xml, then the popup menu
item is always there - but that's not what I want - I only want the item
visible on certein types of XML files.
I'm at a loss for how to debug this. I really appreciate a pointer.
Thanks!

Finally figured it out. My plugin and another plugin both registered valid
content types at medium priority. So the one that was first alphabetically
won. The solution was to make my content type high priority.
