I assume you mean EMF 2.3.0. You likely need to run eclipse.exe -clean
to update the configuration. If things still fail, run with -clean
-debug and look at the Error log for clues about what might be failing
to activate and why.

I got it to work once I figured out the JEM stuff. In the end, these are the steps that worked for me. Note: these are likely not the minimal steps, just one working solution.
1) Fully uninstall any old version of VE or JEM (not just disable)
2) via the Europa update site, install prerequisites for WTP:
2a) org.eclipse.datatools
2b) org.eclipse.wst
2c) org.eclipse.jst
2d) org.eclipse.jpt
3) Install the 3.0M1 milestone release of WTP SDK, which is the authoritative source of JEM 2.0.0:
3a) Go to http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/
3b) Click the 3.0M1 build
3c) Download the wtp-sdk zip
3d) Unpack the .zip file somewhere
3e) In that extracted folder, there is an "eclipse" subdir
3f) In that subdir, create a file called ".eclipseextension"
3g) Put the following three lines in that file:
name=WTP
id=org.eclipse.wst
version=2.0.0.v200706041905
3h) In eclipse, go to Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration
3i) Click "Add an Extension Location"
3j) Select the WTP "eclipse" subdir from above
4) Install the build of VE:
4a) Go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=131065 &package_id=154855
4b) Click "Visual Editor patched as in bug 202562"
4c) Click org.eclipse.visualeditor-1.3.0.200709121813.zip
4d) Unpack the .zip file somewhere
4e) In that extracted folder, there is an " org.eclipse.visualeditor-1.3.0.200709121813" subdir
4f) Rename that subdir to "eclipse"
4g) In that "eclipse" subdir, create a file called ".eclipseextension"
4h) Put the following three lines in that file:
name=Visual Editor
id=org.eclipse.visualeditor
version=1.3.0.200709121813
4i) In eclipse, go to Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration
4j) Click "Add an Extension Location"
4k) Select the VE "eclipse" subdir from above

Which kind of the wtp package should be installed to have "jem"
in my windows installation of Europe?
the "Web Tools Platform All-In-One Packages" (~260M win)
-> wtp-all-in-one-sdk-R-2.0-200706260303-win32.zip
the "Web Tools Platform Complete" (~37M win)

or the "Web Standard Tools" (~18M win)
-> wtp-wst-R-2.0-200706260303.zip

Hey that is a cool step by step guide :-)
Note:The .eclipseextension can be empty. the content does not matter mostly.
Could you do something for all of us?
Add those steps and instructions to that wiki page:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/VE/Installing
Then as soon as we have anofficial build we can update it :-)
Thanks!

Thanks again!
All feel free to edit the page as needed if the step do not work for you.

Thanks for the step by step but how do I accomplish step 1? When I go in,
I see no method to "fully uninstall" only disable.
Also can someone modify this step by step for a completely clean, new
install of Eclipse on OS X or Windows? What do I need to have on a virgin
install before starting all of this?
Thanks,
Aslam
P.S. Is the reason VE lost steam originally because there are other (maybe
commercial) WYSIWYG Swing editors that people are using more? If so what
are some of them?

Full uninstall will only be available if you used the update manager to
install and HAD NOT used -clean option. If you used -clean or did not
use the update manager then you need to do it by hand. You need to
delete the features and plugins and run -clean.

I assume you mean EMF 2.3.0. You likely need to run eclipse.exe -clean

Hey that is a cool step by step guide :-)
Note:The .eclipseextension can be empty. the content does not matter mostly.
Could you do something for all of us?
Add those steps and instructions to that wiki page:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/VE/Installing
Then as soon as we have anofficial build we can update it :-)
Thanks!

Thanks for the step by step but how do I accomplish step 1? When I go in,
I see no method to "fully uninstall" only disable.
Also can someone modify this step by step for a completely clean, new
install of Eclipse on OS X or Windows? What do I need to have on a virgin
install before starting all of this?
Thanks,
Aslam
P.S. Is the reason VE lost steam originally because there are other (maybe
commercial) WYSIWYG Swing editors that people are using more? If so what
are some of them?

Full uninstall will only be available if you used the update manager to
install and HAD NOT used -clean option. If you used -clean or did not
use the update manager then you need to do it by hand. You need to
delete the features and plugins and run -clean.

GWT is Java target.

"Or not." :-)
You have classes with Java code and special methods with JavaScript code.
You can use special ClassLoader to (re)implement these methods to
execute this JavaScript code in browser. After this you can just execute
these classes in normal JVM. How do you think this is done in GWT hosted
mode or in GWT Designer?

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I had spent more than a week and
was really going totally crazy with VE & Europa. Your article really
helped me immensely.
Thanks again!
