I installed Eclipse 3.0.2 under W2K SP4 and recently downloaded MyEclipse 3.8.4. I created WEB project and created HTML page using default HTML template. Every time when I try to switch to design view I have an error message saying that MyEclipse Visual Designer detected an unexpected internal error.

Info May 06, 2005 10:21:56.311 Internal Error in designer when loading source into editor.

The designer is being completely replaced for our 4.0 release with a much more powerful editor. Can you wait for this release or is this problem really putting you in a bad place?

Yes, I can wait. I would like to know if I'm the only one having such problem.
When do you plan next release?

We are planning a milestone release of 4.0 in less than week.

I do not recall seeing this problem reported before.
