[news.eclipse.dtp] Re: Datatools Install/Uninstall Problems

[geoff.roberts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Geoffry Roberts)]

On my problem machine, I'm running eclipse 3.4.2 and dtp 1.6.2.

On two other machines, its eclipse 3.4.0 and dtp 1.6.0; and GWT 1.6 
installed with no problem.

Sounds like I need to roll back a version or two.
