Problem with SWT Designer Free Edition v1.2.2

[KingOfBlingBling]

Hi. I downloaded and installed SWT Designer Free Edition v1.2.2 for Eclipse V3.0 M5 (and that's the version of Eclipse I'm running) and I have problems with it. I cannot change anything while in "design" mode. For instance, if I create an SWT Application and try to change the title from the properties window, as soon as I type in the new Title and press enter, it goes back to the default value. Or let's say in a JFace Dialog I pick a layout in the layout combo-box from the properties window, as soon as I make my choice, it goes back to blank like everything is read-only. Could anybody help me?

Thank you very much.

Do any exceptions appear in the Eclipse ".log" file? Can you drop any widgets on the canvas? Can you right-click on the window an delete the current layout? After deleting the layout, can you drag/drop a new layout on the window?

I looked in the ".log" file and I have tons of these stack traces:

When I saw that, I included the jar that contains the class org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.CompilationUnitResolver which I found in my "plugins\org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.0.0" folder underneath my Eclipse install folder but it didn't do anything. Everytime I do something in the designer I get this stack trace and nothing happens. Hope this gives you more information.

Nevermind. I think I know what the problem is. I could've sworn to God I had Eclipse M5 installed but I have M4. I guess all I have to do is upgrade my Eclipse version now. Thanks anyway.

BTW, you might as well just install Eclipse 3.0 M6 and use the 1.2.3 version of Designer (beta).
