Answer 1

I'd first suggest you to try simply re-installing the plugin, in case something went wrong during installation, and if it doesn't work
Uninstall all JRebel items from Help > About > Installation details
Delete all files and folders from {eclipse.home}/plugins folder starting with org.zeroturnaround
Delete folders from {eclipse.home}/features folder starting with org.zeroturnaround
Delete all artifacts from {eclipse.home}/artifacts.xml which id contains zeroturnarond.
Install JRebel plugin
Steps in between should remove most of the stuff coming with plugin installation - uninstalling plugin from Eclipse is more of a disabling plugin as Eclipse keeps most of the data due to ability to restore previous states (read here). If still doesn't work, please contact support#zeroturnaround.com.
