One important notice: this PATH problem is confirmed only on Mac OS X; I did not test it on GNU/Linux and Windows. Due to peculiarities of Windows PATH processing, if the toolchain is in the user PATH, I guess Discovery Options work properly. I do not know on how Eclipse inherits PATH in GNU/Linux.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
What I thought it is a problem when running on Helios, turned to be a more general problem.
It seems that Discovery Options do not work properly when running the plug-in on a separate Eclipse instance (the usual case).
Strange enough, Discovery Options DO work in the development environment, i.e. when starting Eclipse within Eclipse.
It looks like a PATH problem. The PATH is correctly set, building projects do work properly, but Discovery Options fail.
Unfortunately, I'll be unavailable for the next 10 days; I'll investigate when back to office.
