I’m getting this exception when I launch the IDE in the package explorer. Is there a work around.

Raghavan,

This looks like an installation problem to me. The issue is likely that the Eclipse plugin cache got stale as it sometimes
does not cleanly rebuild after updates. The “fast fix” to rectify the problem is to restart Eclipse with the -clean flag one time:
eclipse.exe -clean ..rest of commandline args…

That should resolve the problem. If it doesn’t, I’d suggest grabbing our “all-in-one” installer and installing to a new
directory as that will definately give you a configuration that works on first launch.
