THANK YOU Mike for the correct URL - I was using the WRONG domain >
www.mdimension.com - should be WEBOBJECTS.mdimension.com
And THANK YOU Anjo - whatever you did in build 3801, it solved my
problem. And my demo apps in Chuck' Practical Utilities book run ok.
Again thanks to all for the pointers on getting over the initial Eclipse
hurdles.
Amen
