Installing CFBuilder Beta3 as Plugin - Problem

Okay, so I'll admit to doing it completely wrong the first time.

I think I probably did just about eveything you weren't supposed to do.

1.  I had eclipse and the cfbuilder beta2 perspective open

2.  I uninstalled from the windows add/remove programs (which incidently didn't uninstall a bunch of stuff because it was open)

3.  At this point I ended up just going into the eclipse folder and deleteing everying from the plug-in directory marked "com.adobe..."

At this point it let me install, and completed without screaming at me.

So now, I open eclipse, and try to open the cf perspective and its not there.

So NOW I read the directions, and I try starting this from scratch

1.  Uninstall beta 3

2.  close and reopen eclipse with the -clean

3.  threw in a reboot here just in case

4.  Install beta 3

5.  Open eclipse with the -clean

So, I go to open the perspective, still not there.

However I go to the Eclipse - Help - About Eclipse Platform and I see the CF logo, I go to the installed plug-ins and its listed, I go to the Window - Preferences and I can configure it.  I just can't get it into the menu to open it.

Incidently - Eclipse Ganyamede - 3.4.2

Anyone have any ideas?

Go to the plugins window and view the properties for the plugin, and then have a look under 'Status'

It might list out the things that are wrong with it.

I have a similar issue where it doesn't work properly after installing it as a plugin, the issues mine shows under 'Status' is:

Plug-in "com.adobe.html.help" version "0.0.0" referenced by this feature is missing.

Plug-in "org.derby.driver" version "1.5.0.25222" referenced by this feature is missing.

Plug-in "org.eclipse.atf.mozilla.ide.core" version "0.2.1.v200703161053" referenced by this feature is missing.

Plug-in "com.extjs.ext.3.0" version "1.0.0.001" referenced by this feature is missing.

I haven't been able to find where to get those plugins either yet.
