I have exactly this problem when I try to open a file. I have Helios Service Release 1 Build id: 20100823-0827 with the latest updates loaded using Help->Check for Updates.

Does anyone know what causes this?

In the end I completedly cleaned out Eclipse and downloaded the latest version of Helios (eclipse-php-helios-SR2-win32.zip).

I now have Helios Service Release 2 Build id: 20110218-0911 and the problem has disappeared.

I thought that Help->Check for Updates would bring me completely up to date. Clearly not!

Is it recommended that periodically we should replace Eclipse with the latest version? How often?
