Under Ubuntu 11.04 using Eclipse 3.7.1 and having Erlang R13B03 all freshly installed I'm getting the following error when trying to access the Erlide preferences:

Unable to create the selected preference page.
An error occurred while automatically activating bundle org.erlide.ui (164).

Thus, I can neither configure anything nor actually use Erlide.

~$ ./eclipse/eclipse

I'm happy to assist if you need more information. The problem occurs from version 15 to the current beta. Version 14 seemed to work, but it's not available through the update site anymore.
