[news.eclipse.technology.epf] Unable to launch EPF Composer

[pushpa.krishnaswamy@xxxxxxxxxxx (Pushpa)]

I am new to Eclipse.  I downloaded the Eclipse Process Framework Composer 
and extracted it.  I ran the application epf.exe.  Only the blue eclipse 
starting page was shown with copyright details, but nothing else appeared. 
The task manager shows the epf composer is running, but I am not able to 
see the application.  I have not installed Eclipse IDE.  

I have the following:
Windows XP with SP 2
j2sdk1.4.2_06
IE 6.0

What am I missing?  Why is the application (epf composer) not opening to 
show me any menu, or anything else?  Do I need to do anything else?  Do I 
need to have the Eclipse IDE also?  Will the epf composer run 
independently of the IDE?  

Thanks.
