Thanks very much for the reply :), I've added this now, but it hasn't solved the problem..
However i noticed something, when i started up eclipse, i got a warning saying "Mylyn was installed but requires Java 5 or later to run, Please download and install the latest Java version and restart". The thing is, I have Java 6.. Have I to do something to have this compatible with eclipse or something???? Probably a completely stupid question but I really don't know.. and maybe that's what's causing the problem..
