I'm having a problem using visual editor, after I successfuly download
both eclipse 3.1.2 and visual editor, and also made a "visual class", it
worked correctly and I was able to modify the frame using VE toolbar, but
after a while, a problem occured, the frame doesn't appear any more,
instead an icon with of a small frame and an error mark with the frame's
name, also when I select any component from "Java Beans" tree, this
message appears in the status bar "(X)
java.lang.NullPointerException(null)".

I want also to declare that the problem occured when I try to make a new
"visual class" even in a new project, also I have an old version of
eclipse "Eclipse 3.0" installed in my PC, could that make a problem?

I have a PC with AMD 1.6 GHZ, 256 MB RAM, windows XP service pack II.

Take a look at what's in your .log file (either find the file in your
workspace's .metadata directory or use Show View->Error Log). Please
attach the file to a newsgroup post.
