I just helped debug a user problem getting the new UIMA Eclipse tooling
to work on a server, and thought it might be useful to note the two most
common problems we see when the Component Descriptor Editor won't start:
1) Forgot to install EMF, or didn't install all the UIMA Eclipse Plugins.
2) Have Java 1.4 installed on the machine, and don't specify what Java
to use. (The UIMA plugins require Java 1.5). If this happens there
will be errors in the error log saying things about an invalid major /
minor version 49 (49 = Java 1.5).
