I have installed 4.2M6 and updated it with e4 M6 stable build. I then installed
Windowbuilder - http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/integration/4.2/
If I do anything, for example new SWT composite it creates a small window builder window in the top left of the editor area, a red x icon, the message "Failed to". There is also an unhandled event loop exception generated. Does window builder work with e4.

org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Failed to execute runnable (java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument not valid)
at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:4361)
at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:4276)
at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Synchronizer.runAsyncMessages(Synchronizer.java:138)

plus lots more the same

Thanks, how can I get hold of the fix, there are no updates on the integration/4.2 update site. Is there another repo I can use. Having used it for the last 7 years I feel lost without it.
