As far as I know.  I d/l'd the Eclipse version and used the update to 
install VE with it's dependencies.

I will send it to your email address with the Subject Line: Eclipse 
Problem from Gakk.  It will arrive from another email address.

I use the above address for spam processing.

Usually the Visual components aren't visible, but the loading message 
remains.  The Source tab works correctly.
Sometimes I can get the visuals to appear, but the components are neatly 
arrayed like an exploded parts diagram.  Interestingly, the app still 
runs as a java app or bean.  It appears to be just a problem with the 
display.
