Thanks a lot for the replies, it really helped For anyone trying to run Jess on "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers", here is what you need to do: on Eclipse go to help>Software Updates>Available Software. Then check every item in the list related to plugins, SDK, etc. and click Install. Then exit Eclipse and copy all 5 of the *.zip files under Jess/eclipse, and paste them in your Eclipse directory. Extract them and run eclipse. On Eclipse check out Help>About Eclipse SDK, to see if Jess logo is there.
