Hi. I encounter this error when i try to create a new UML repository.

Cannot create new model repository.

Reason:
MyEclipse UML requires JRE for Linux version 1.5.0 or greater

Now, I’ve just downloaded and installed jre1.5.0_04, and I’ve selected it in Window/Preferences/Java/Installed JRE’s. So what am i doing wrong?

You’ve configured JDK 1.5 as you default JDK in Eclipse, but you must actually use it to start Eclipse as well. You can do this with commandline arguments like the following:
eclipse -vm <path-to-jdk1.5>/bin/javaw

Thanks a bunch! Didnt quite understad that i had to start Eclipse using 1.5.0 🙂

Anyway, had to modify to eclipse -vm <path-to-jdk1.5>/bin/java

and then it worked perfectly.

On windows, the -vm argument has to point to the javaw.eve file. But on linux as you have found out, you must point to the “java” executable.

Glad its working.
