I just installed the latest update of Vaadin 7 in eclipse. When I try to create a new composite in my vaadin project the Visual Editor doesn’t open. I’ve tried Open With >> Vaadin Editor. I’ve attached a screenshot to display my problem. The screenshot was taken after I clicked Open With >> Vaadin Editor.
Open the Error Log view (Window → Show View → Error Log) and try again.
You might get a stack trace or other information there, that would help get some idea on where the problem might be.
I have the same issue. What can I do to fix it ? I didn’t do anything special as far as I know, I did uninstall and installed again the plugin, same problem.

This trace seems to be from Eclipse start-up when it tries to re-open previously open editors (nothing from com.vaadin anywhere in the stack trace), but I suppose you are seeing something similar also when trying to create a visually editable component or when opening one using Open With… → Vaadin Editor.
I haven’t seen problems using Juno on Linux x86_64, but I have mostly been testing with Java 6.
Could you check if this might be related to the Java version, and whether you get a different stack trace when trying to create the component or explicitly open the view?
Also, do you have a suitable version of XULRunner installed? Does the plug-in complain about it?
The stacktrace appears in the error log of eclipse right after I open a vaadin composite, I specifically open it with the vaadin editor (it might not be from the vaadin plugin, but that is what appears). And the tab and UI appears the same as the original attachment from Johan Carinus.
How do I know what xulrunner should I have ?
(In windows I always has a warning message about xulrunner but the visual editor worked regardles of that )
I have eclipse juno x64 in linux and I also have the folowing plugins: Jrebel, svn and git from eclipse, maven from sonatype.
I don’t remember when the visual editor stopped working but I will try to reproduce it and I will let you know.
The editor is a must for me. After +50 views, I still don’t like to code by hand UI layouting of components.

The screenshot looks to me like the Vaadin plug-in hasn’t been installed correctly.
Do other parts of the plug-in show up (new project wizards, widgetset compilation button in the toolbar, …)? You can also check under Help → About Eclipse that the plug-in is installed.
