Hi,

I tried installing various versions of eclipse and latest one is wtp-all-in-one-sdk-R-2.0-200706260303-win32.
Somehow when I click on eclipse.exe it opens up for a moment,command prompt comesup and then it just stops.
I installed JDK1.5 also on my system.Can someone please help me what could have happened here and I could further troubleshoot this?


Regards,
Vandana

I don't recognize the file name you posted. Or maybe I do, but that package is dated from 2007; that is ancient in Eclipse years. The typical name for an Eclipse package is something like this: eclipse-jee-indigo-win32-x86_64.zip.

Did you download from: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/?
Which package did you download? Usually, you want the "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" package.

wud??? Please UseRealWords

The package I pointed out will let you build web services.

I suspect that you are having problems with the version of the JDK that you have installed. What OS are you using? What is the result from typing "java -version"? Exactly where did you install Eclipse (post the full path to the eclipse directory).

Hi. I'm also having problems getting eclipse to work. I installed it and tried to open it, but this message appeared:

A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations.
C:\Users\Me\Downloads\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe
javaw.exe in your current PATH

So, I went online and installed a JDK, the right one for my computer, and I have tried using your instructions to set my path, but that same message keeps appearing. What can I do to make this work? I need Eclipse for my Compsci class assignment.

Thank you so much.
