hi guys,

well i have installed the jdk1.4.2_10 and then have downloaded the eclipse sdk.But when i run the eclipse.exe then i am not able to launch eclipse.It looks for JVM but in the old path where i initally copied it.
I can open eclipse by using startup.jar file with javaw program.After i have launched eclipse ,i tried to change the path of installed jre by

Windows-----> Preferences----->Java--->Installed Jre

but still when i launch eclipse from eclipse.exe icon,i get the same error

thanks in advance

Try updating the Windows path variable.

Note that the entry for JDK 4 should occur before any other JDK. Installing oracle caused this problem for me (JDK 1.3 bundled with it was the first entry).
