[news.eclipse.modeling.mdt.uml2tools] uml2tools newbie - Trouble with basic functionality

I am a long-time user of Eclipse however I'm a new user of UML2tools. I would appreciate some help getting me over the following hurdles.

Background
I'm trying to draw a simple class diagram and having considerable difficulty. (I'm following the basic tutorial documented here: http://www.vogella.de/articles/UML/article.html)


Hurdle 1
I can create the classes and their attributes/operations. However, when I try to follow the step "If you select your UML diagram and click on the outgoing arrow you can create associations", I am not able to associate a class to another class. When I click the outgoing arrow and hover over another class, the cursor becomes a "prohibited" symbol (circle with line through it). Creating connections, i.e. associations, using the arrows does not work for me.


Hurdle 2
As a workaround, I can use the Palette to create an Navigable Association between classes. However, I am not able to create a simple one-way, directed association as described in messages #476574 and #476575. (http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&S=de1bf5ebc736c32670cb63280e089c76&th=151479&goto=476574#msg_476574) The association does not have preferences for "-Show all arrows and x?s.
-Suppress all arrows and x?s.
-Show one-way navigibility only"


Please help.
