Bug Screen Shot #1

Build ID: M20071023-1652

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Start eclipse
2. Create a new workspace when prompted
3. Close the "Welcome" tab.
4. Open the "Error Log" view
5. Go to Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Templates  (and make sure you never resize the Preferences dialog, nor click on another category than "Templates". The problem tends not to appear when the dialog is resized...)

Default templates should be visible in the table, but the table appears empty. (See screen shot #1)
In the Error Log, we can see that 2 errors were added. (see error log as attachment)

6. Click on "OK"

The dialog doesn't close. An error message appears. (See screen shot #2)

7. Click on "OK" (on the error dialog)

The "OK" button in the Preferences dialog is disabled. The tree is broken (See screen shot #3). 
The "Cancel" and "X" buttons won't do anything. The application is dead. Need to kill the process...


More information:
Tested with a clean install (immediately after unzipping eclipse-SDK-3.3.1.1-win32.zip)

The bug doesn't always reproduce when the Preferences dialog is resized before going to "Templates"...

Frequently experience layout problems with eclipse's dialogs (see other screen shots). Does this can be linked? Usually resizing/re-opening dialogs eventually fixes the problem without crashing the application.

Also tested with modified "eclipse.ini" to specify the VM like this:
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_16\bin\javaw.exe
then like this:
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\javaw.exe
The result is always the same...
