GWT Designer causing Eclipse crash when loading Design tab

[arvind]

Hello,

I'm new to GWT Designer, so please excuse any obvious errors.

I've just created a simple "Hello, GWT World" app that works when I run it from within Eclipse. However, when I attempt to open the "Design" tab it causes the Eclipse IDE to disappear!
Everything has been installed fresh and there are no 3rd party components. I installed Eclipse, then GWT and then the GWT designer.
I've attached a screencap of version numbers, as well as the Eclipse crash log.

Help appreciated.

Thanks,
Arvind

I see you are using a build from more than a month ago.

Have you tried it using the latest build?

Eric, Thanks. I tried that now but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I see the "initializing GWT development mode" message and then "refreshing.." and then poof, the whole thing disappears.

Try to disable WebKit rendering in preferences as a workaround.

Hi Alexander,

That did work, thanks very much. I guess I don't really need the Webkit rendering, at least right now. So I'm good to go.

Cheers!

WebKit rendering only works on Windows Vista/7 and not on the old Windows version you are using now.
