Design view showing exceptions [message #1696630]

I recently got a new computer and had to reinstall eclipse and window builder plugin.

Now most of the time that I try to open design view I get the exception pane displayed. Sometimes even when I use the windowbuilder wizard to create a new dialog and click the design view tab for the first time. Other times when I am adding components to a dialog.

I can poke the reparse button a few times and the dialog displays fine and I can proceed.

Any suggestions on how to fix this or diagnose further?

Here is one of the errors. This occurred after I created a new dialog, added SpringLayout, then I got the error when adding a label.

Internal Error
WindowBuilder encountered unexpected internal error.

This could be caused by a WindowBuilder bug or by a misconfiguration issue, conflict, partial update, etc.

java.lang.Error: new JLabel("New label")

That's a known JDK bug that we added a work around for a long time ago.

I suggest you update your WindowBuilder installation and use the latest build. The build you are using is over a year old.
