I'm trying to install Google Web Toolkit designer but no success so far. After spending few days struggling I've tried many different approaches including fresh installation of different versions of eclipse. I can create a new web applications and it runs just fine. My problem now is to lauch the GWT designer. This is the error I'm getting.
Could not open the editor: The editor class could not be instantiated. This usually indicates a missing no-arg constructor or that the editor's class name was mistyped in plugin.xml.
and these are the details of the error

I've seen many other people with the same issues and there are different solutions to solve this issue. I've tried every songle thing I've found on the forums (Create new workspace, tried with different jdk versions but no success.
My environment:
Eclipse Indigo 3.7 Java 1.6.0_37 Windows 7
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks,
