Visual Editor 1.2 not usable in Eclipse 3.2.2 [message #142307]

Ok, I downloaded and extracted v1.2 of Visual Editor.

Then I copied all the stuff into the corresponding sub folders
"features" and "plugins" of an already installed and successful running
Eclipse 3.2.2.

Now I started Eclipse and expected somewhere a new menu "VisEditor"
or something similar.

But I could not see any changes.

How do I call Visual Editor?

Do I have to enable it somewhere explicitely ?

Can I work with VE in every project even an existing one ?

Can I keep all the new files for Visual Editor separate from the existing
Eclipse installation and make only a reference in Eclipse to this external
VE folder tree?

Could take a look at the log file <workspace>/.metadata/.log ? If there is
no error, the -clean option to start eclipse may help.
