Cannot use "New Visual Class" wizard [message #108881]

I downloaded eclipse 3.2 SDK and used Update manager for installing
Visual Editor 1.1, EMF 2.1.0 and GEF 3.1 (I installed simply latest
versions). But, I can't see "Visual Class" in File -> New menu as
supposed in tutorials. However, if I open some VE example, Visual Editor
works and I can put components, change their properties etc.
What I have to do to get VE work?

P.S. I tried this procedure also with Eclipse SDK 3.1, result is the same.

Thank you for any help.

Using the update manager try upgrading to VE 1.1.0.1. It has many fixes
over 1.1.

Update Manager reports "No updates for the currently installed
feature(s) found, try again later". And, according to Help -> Software
Updates -> Manage Configuration, I have Visual Editor 1.1.0.1 already
installed.

Serge,

"Visual Class" is only visible as a menu item when you have the Java
Perspective open.

A safe way to get a chance for a new visual class from any perspective is
this path from the context menu of a java package:

New - Other ...

You get a dialog with a structured list of new objects. In the Java folder
there should be a "Visual Class" entry.

Helpful?

Thank you very much. I am novice, and such things are non-intuitive for
me at a present time.
But, there is no "Visual Class" in File -> New even if I am in Java
perspective, what's wrong?

I ran into this problem a couple of months ago, and if I went to

Window -> Reset Perspective then the visual class item would appear under
File -> New -> Visual Class

I unfortunately do not remember if you had to exit eclipse for the change to
take effect and I assume you have to be in the Java perspective in order for
this to work.
