If a swt Composite or a Swing Panel is created, the Windowbuilder tries to show the usual Source, Design and Bindings Tabs but there is only a small Edtior in the upper left corner of the Eclipse Part. Under Details I get this Stack Trace:

I am also getting this error running Linux x86_64 platform.  Interesting behavior is that if I leave the malfunctioned editor open and resize a part then the whole workspace (except for the toolbar) seems to have a refresh issue.

I'm running E4.2M6 with WB pulled from the SVN trunk version 481.

Now it works for me. I have updated to WindowBuilder Build id:2012.03.23

Sorry I'm rather new to Eclipse. When I close Navigator and re-open it, the error disappears.

I'm trying to get Eclipse to work with PyDev Django using a gSTM tunnel to a prod or stage db on latest ubuntu 64-bit.

It fixed it after I reinstalled WindowBuilder. Thank you. I think it's fixed now.
