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

First of all you should use one of SDKs. The version 3.0.1 is meant to run with J2SDK1.4.xx, while 3.1M2 represents a milestone on the way to support J2SE 5.0.

For the other possible startup settings take a look here:
runtime options
