Hi Rajeev, I've got: Eclipse Version: 3.4.0 - Build id: I20080617-2000
java.runtime.version=1.6.0_13-b03 As I said, if I go to Software Updates, Installed Software shows the GEP and GWT SDK as installed. Available Software shows the plugin (but no install option is available) and the AppEngine SDK, but if there is another way to check, just let me know - Help | About | Plug-in details doesn't show it. It locked up during "computing requirements and dependencies" The only errors to do with Google showing in the log are from failed compiles back when I tried to use the GEP the first time. I've reset the perspective - nothing happened except that I had to put it back how I like it :-) (only takes a moment) I'm quite happy to play about if it's any use, but apart from repeatedly uninstalling and re-installing, I'm not too sure what to do next.
