Hi Pasquale,

There's a couple of things you need to check once you've installed VE on 
Eclipse 3.2.2. First, you need to verify that you also have the JEM 
plugins, as well as the others that VE depends on. The JEM plugins for 
Eclipse 3.2.2 are available as part of the Web Tools Package (WTP), or 
as a separate download from the WTP page. You'll also need to verify 
that you have the other compatible plugins such as EMF and GEF as shown 
on the VE prerequisites page.

If you've verified that you have all of these, then what you need to do 
is use the toolbar button that creates a new class and select "Visual 
Class" from the popup menu. This brings up the new class wizard with VE 
customizations. You can choose the type of class you want to create 
(e.g. SWT or Swing class), then give the class a name and VE will open a 
split canvas with the top pane being the visual layout and the bottom 
pane being the source. You can edit either one and the other will be 
updated to reflect the changes.

Note that I'm currently working on resolving a bug that affects the way 
beaninfo is interpreted, which may disrupt the visual layout. I'll be 
posting a followup message to this list and the VE newsgroup to document 
the workaround until it is fixed. It's not quite as easy as the update 
site approach, but it should help with the problem.

Hope that helps,
Steve Robenalt
