Eclipse Visual Editor Mystery solved

I finally figured out why Eclipse Visual Editor was not working on my machine. That's because I didn't install the entire required component with the right version. Based on the instruction at http://www.eclipse.org/vep/ , the current build only support Eclipse 3.0.1. Thus it didn't work for 3.0.2. In addition, I need to install EMF build 2.0.1 and GEF Build 3.0.1, which I didn't do previously. Now everything is working on the Eclipse 3.0.1 on my office machine.

However, I found the editor kind of slow. I am pretty sure that my machine itself should be fast enough, so maybe Java visual components are intrinsically slow.
