Perhaps you could show us what the Manifest file and  
plugin.properties files look like?
One of the important points is that blank lines in the manifest file  
are important, especially having a blank line as the final line in  
the file.

The other thing is to look at the console output when Protege  
launches and see if there are any messages that give you a hint.
