I am trying to get eclipse to run on XP Windows Pro. It is not working.
I have uninstalled
Java 1.5 and reinstalled Java 1.4. Would it have sufficed
to just change JAVA_HOME? I have also rebooted.
I have found some documentation that explains there is no installation
procedure. You just unfold the zip file and run eclipse.exe.
Since I did not know which version of eclipse to use, I have created three
directories containing three different versions of eclipse that I have
downloaded. They are called eclipse-SDK-3.0, eclipsePlatform3.1M1 and
eclipseSDK3.1M1.
I went to each directory and tried running eclipse.exe and all give me the
same error. I then went to all three directories again and typed
eclipse.exe -vm c:\j2sdk1.4.2_04\jre\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs -Xmx256M
Same error! Arghh!
I'm running XP Pro Service Pack 1.
Does anyone have any more ideas? Is there a more appropriate mailing list to
posting this to?
Thanks,
Siegfried
Incidently, the error I'm getting is
