To do this open Notepad and add in the details below. Make sure to change the version value to your actual eclipse version (this is different to Matt’s recommendations - see the next paragraph for the reason for doing this). name=Eclipse Platform id=org.eclipse.platform version=3.1.2 Now save the file in the directory as detailed above by selecting ‘All (*.*)’ from Notepad’s ‘Save as type:’ drop down..." For clarity I should have really indicated that you need to put .eclipseplguin as the file name at this point (you shouldn't have a .txt extension at this point). If you are still having problems reply to my comment and I'll post up my version for you to use.
