I got it to work once I figured out the JEM stuff. In the end, these are the steps that worked for me. Note: these are likely not the minimal steps, just one working solution.
1) Fully uninstall any old version of VE or JEM (not just disable)
2) via the Europa update site, install prerequisites for WTP:
2a) org.eclipse.datatools
2b) org.eclipse.wst
2c) org.eclipse.jst
2d) org.eclipse.jpt
3) Install the 3.0M1 milestone release of WTP SDK, which is the authoritative source of JEM 2.0.0:
3a) Go to http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/
3b) Click the 3.0M1 build
3c) Download the wtp-sdk zip
3d) Unpack the .zip file somewhere
3e) In that extracted folder, there is an "eclipse" subdir
3f) In that subdir, create a file called ".eclipseextension"
3g) Put the following three lines in that file:
name=WTP
id=org.eclipse.wst
version=2.0.0.v200706041905
3h) In eclipse, go to Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration
3i) Click "Add an Extension Location"
3j) Select the WTP "eclipse" subdir from above
4) Install the build of VE:
4a) Go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=131065 &package_id=154855
4b) Click "Visual Editor patched as in bug 202562"
4c) Click org.eclipse.visualeditor-1.3.0.200709121813.zip
4d) Unpack the .zip file somewhere
4e) In that extracted folder, there is an " org.eclipse.visualeditor-1.3.0.200709121813" subdir
4f) Rename that subdir to "eclipse"
4g) In that "eclipse" subdir, create a file called ".eclipseextension"
4h) Put the following three lines in that file:
name=Visual Editor
id=org.eclipse.visualeditor
version=1.3.0.200709121813
4i) In eclipse, go to Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration
4j) Click "Add an Extension Location"
4k) Select the VE "eclipse" subdir from above

Someone needs to open a request for WTP to provide a feature purely for

that EMF itself has been decomposed in a large number of small features
so we've already tried to be helpful in this regard. What I'd like to
see for all projects is that they specify a project file set that allows
anyone to extract the components for that project directly from CVS.
We'll try to accomplish this in the modeling project first before we
start pointing fingers at others for not doing this. :-P It's
important for an open community to make it easy for anyone to build the
project and to be able to work like the developers of the project so
that they can contribute high quality patches, including JUnit tests for
their additional capabilities. Thanks for sharing your experience so
that others can reuse it. Probably this information should go in a wiki
so that it's easy to find and easy to update as things change...

Hey that is a cool step by step guide :-)
Note:The .eclipseextension can be empty. the content does not matter mostly.
Could you do something for all of us?
Add those steps and instructions to that wiki page:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/VE/Installing
Then as soon as we have anofficial build we can update it :-)
Thanks!

Chris I added you rinstructions to that wiki page:

Thanks again!
All feel free to edit the page as needed if the step do not work for you.

Philippe,
Thanks for your efforts! I'm trying out your Sept 12 build, but have not had success. I did the following:
* unpacked the .zip
* changed the folder name to "eclipse"
* created a .eclipseextension file
* went to Help>Software Updates>Manage Configuration
* Add an Extension location
* selected my "eclipse" folder above
* restarted
Now I see VE in my plugin list via
Help>About Eclipse Platform>Plug-in Details
However, I don't see any of the VE features (Visual class not listed in New... and no Visual Editor option under right-click>Open With...)
I have GEF 3.2.100.v20070529 and EMF v2.3.9.v200706262000 installed under Eclipse 3.3.0 (not EasyEclipse).
Any ideas?

Chris,
I assume you mean EMF 2.3.0. You likely need to run eclipse.exe -clean
to update the configuration. If things still fail, run with -clean
-debug and look at the Error log for clues about what might be failing
to activate and why.

Oh, right, I meant 2.3.0. I did some more digging and it appears my problem is that I lack JEM 2.0.0. I'm currently following Eric's advice ( http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools.ve/msg07 104.html) and am trying to install the WTP SDK, but it's a confusing process.

Chris,
The log is good for describing problems like missing plugins, so it's a
good idea to look closely at that for clues. I'm sure the log will say
that JEM is missing, for example.

Hello Erik,

Which kind of the wtp package should be installed to have "jem"
in my windows installation of Europe?
the "Web Tools Platform All-In-One Packages" (~260M win)
-> wtp-all-in-one-sdk-R-2.0-200706260303-win32.zip
the "Web Tools Platform Complete" (~37M win)
-> wtp-R-2.0-200706260303.zip
or the "Web Standard Tools" (~18M win)
-> wtp-wst-R-2.0-200706260303.zip

Thomas,
See my notes in comment #7 above. I found that I needed v3.0M1 of WTP because VE needs JEM v2.0.0 and WTP v2.x has an older version of JEM.

Hey that is a cool step by step guide :-)
Note:The .eclipseextension can be empty. the content does not matter mostly.
Could you do something for all of us?
Add those steps and instructions to that wiki page:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/VE/Installing
Then as soon as we have anofficial build we can update it :-)
Thanks!

Chris I added you rinstructions to that wiki page:

Thanks again!
All feel free to edit the page as needed if the step do not work for you.

Thanks for the step by step but how do I accomplish step 1? When I go in,
I see no method to "fully uninstall" only disable.
Also can someone modify this step by step for a completely clean, new
install of Eclipse on OS X or Windows? What do I need to have on a virgin
install before starting all of this?
Thanks,
Aslam
P.S. Is the reason VE lost steam originally because there are other (maybe
commercial) WYSIWYG Swing editors that people are using more? If so what
are some of them?

Full uninstall will only be available if you used the update manager to
install and HAD NOT used -clean option. If you used -clean or did not
use the update manager then you need to do it by hand. You need to
delete the features and plugins and run -clean.

I doubt that is the reason.
This is a complex piece of code that may have scared many.
That may have been the reason.
Now the project is regaining steam, so thank you for your support!
As for Swing commercial editors there are many ones to pick from. GIYF :-).
For the future of VE there are several possibilities:
1/ focus exclusively on SWT and do it extremely well
2/ continue to provide a more generic editing framework, and supporting
visual editing of non-java target such as GWT, HTML, Groovy, EXSWT, etc.

GWT is Java target.

"Or not." :-)
You have classes with Java code and special methods with JavaScript code.
You can use special ClassLoader to (re)implement these methods to
execute this JavaScript code in browser. After this you can just execute
these classes in normal JVM. How do you think this is done in GWT hosted
mode or in GWT Designer?

I shall reckon my complete lack of knowledge about the GWT internals for
now.
Help would be welcomed if we do something there.

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I had spent more than a week and
was really going totally crazy with VE & Europa. Your article really
helped me immensely.
Thanks again!
