Data Loader NullPointerException

Whenever I attempt to login via Data Loader, I am shown a NullPointerException. The credentials I'm entering work fine in my other SOAP apps. I have built the source via Eclipse and also manually via ANT on the command-line. This is a Windows XP system running Java 1.5.0_04. Do you have any suggestions?

don't use a 1.5 JVM, Axis 1.1 doesn't like it. If you use the packaged install for the data loader, it will install a 1.4 VM for its use.

Where is the 'packaged install' to be found? The download I obtained from sforce.sourceforge.net (11MB in size) doesn't install a JVM, nor does it come with one.

Its downloadable from the setup menu in the application.

In my version of Data Loader, there is no 'Setup' menu. After I hit the Cancel button to leave the SF Login window (which fails with a NullPointerException), I have the following menus available: File, Settings, View, Help. Setup isn't shown as a sub-menu anywhere that I see.

the Setup menu in salesforce.com, not the dataloader.

Excellent. This one works flawlessly.
