Can anyone help me...? I installed the XML packages, but it didn't help...

If i were u i'd upgrade my jvm first and try again.

I found the solution: You need SDK 1.4 in order to use eclipse 3......deinstall your elder version and install the new one and set the correct path....for all the others with the same problem....
