Designer 2.0.0 not working on Eclipse M9

[mindwalker]

Hi!

I'm evaluating Designer but can't get it even started. When I try to open the designer view I get an error and this exception in the log file (on my workspace)

I don't know exactly what is happening, but you might try deleting your Eclipse "configuration" directory and restarting.
You might also try using Eclipse 3.0 RC3 and Designer v2.0.1.
