So while I realize bzr-eclipse is the one failing, it *is* possible that
installing plugin X starts causing failures in plugin Y (installing
Groovy could break Bzr Eclipse.)


That said, given that the exception seems to start at:

org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: name expected (position:START_TAG
<type>@1:6 in java.io.StringReader at 92a0d8)
        at org.kxml2.io.KXmlParser.exception(Unknown Source)

My first suspect would be bzr-xmloutput.

I can't say that I can fully understand the exception, bit it is
possible that it is reading

<type>

and wants
<type name=>

Or that it is getting START_TAG and thinks it should be getting <type>
directly, etc.
