I have downloaded the 1.1.01 update to VE and I get the Menu palette.
When I try to drop a menubar onto a simple shell, it shows in the
JavaBeans view but doesn't appear on the "display" view and I can't drop
other men items onto the shell - what am I doing wrong?

It should appear in the Visual display once you have at least one menu
on it. Without any menus on a menubar the menubar is zero height.

But, the intent is that when working with the menu bar itself you work
with the java beans viewer instead. You drop menu/menuitems there once
you've dropped a menu bar.

No I can get the menubar added, but no matter what I try to add after, it
won't let me either onto the display or the Java Beans view.......has
anyone else sucessfully downloaded and built a menu?

If you have problems even using the JavaBeans view, try closing all
Visual Editor editors and then do a Project|Clean... On my installation
I was unable to drop an SWT MenuItem.SubMenu onto the menubar until I
did this.

What did you select from the palette? Was it SubMenu?

Did you try to drop it on the menubar on the Java Beans View?

Actually closing the current .java file and open it again,the menu bar is visual in the display and Java Bean view.

The problem with my installation is:Even the menu bar is available,I still CANNOT add MenuItem.subItem.

any comments?

Do you get a "NOT" sign when you drag between the menu items on the java
beans viewer where you want to drop? What are your symptoms of cannot add?

I'm stumped then. If everything is installed correctly it works for us.

Now it works.See my steps in the following:
--A: The complete new installation of Eclipse SDK&VE works fine.

--B: If the previous version VE,like v1.1 ,has been installed, then you DELETE the org.eclipse.jem.beaninfo and org.eclipse.jem.ui directories beneath the .metadata of your workspace.

Now you can have fun with the VE.

Thank you guys in this discussion.

Ah, there was a cache problem. But it should of noticed that there were
new versions installed and wiped the cache. I may need to do some tests
to verify that.
