My problem is that C/C++ and PyDev plugins, that seem to be installed in Eclipse, are not working. I've tried to reinstall both Eclipse and plugins several times but the problem is still there. I can neither run them nor open their perspectives..

I've recently upgraded my system to Ubuntu 11.10.
My problem looks like this : How to get Eclipse plugins working with Software Center based installation.

The CDT plugin is available as a package (eclipse-cdt), which should be tested with packaged eclipse. Maybe try that one? Other than that, check ~/.xsession-errors, see if there are any meaningful error message from Eclipse startup. And also check Eclipse's "Error log" view for error messages from plugins.
