A couple of ideas:
(a) Go to you home directory and then the ".idl/itt" subdirectory.
There should be an "idlworkbench-config-idl70" directory. Delete it.
(b) Launch the IDL Workbench with the -clean option. This should fix
any Eclipse caching issues. Don't always run with that option because
the caching speeds the loading of plug-ins at startup.
Hope one of these works for you.
Cheers,
Doug
