The vertical tab list is the only plug-in that I have needed in awhile, especially since editor list quit supporting their product after Eclipse 3.7.

The problem I am seeing is that I get a dialog that pops up constantly stating "INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: An invalid or illegal XML character is specified.".

In the Eclipse error log, seeing two entries for this error for vertical.tab.list:
saveState memento
<view></view>

And the stack:
org.w3c.dom.DOMException: INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: An invalid or illegal XML character is specified.

snip...

Hopefully this can just be caught and not pushed up the chain to Eclipse so that the dialog doesn't keep popping up.

Thanks.
