I have a trial version installed that’s good through 3/12. I could launch fine a few days ago but now I cant. I have:

Windows XP
MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench v3.8.4
Eclipse 3.1.0 (i think)

Here’s copy and paste of log file:

Eclipse 3.0 and especially 3.1 cannot be run with Java 1.3 or lower, you must use Java 1.4+ to run it.

[bettyboop]

OK – I’ll instal a higher version but it seems strange that it was working and I was able to use my current java in the IDE.

Thx

[bettyboop]

Ok – I re-downloaded everything
j2EE 1.4.2 (which was the only version on my machine initially)
Eclipse 3.0.1
MyEclipse Ent Workbench v 3.8.4

still getting:

why is it still looking for java 1.3.1

[Riyad Kalla]

j2EE 1.4.2 (which was the only version on my machine initially)

I think you meant J2SE right? If you didn’t, please download that, you don’t need J2EE 1.4, you need J2SE 1.4.2_07 (most recent non 5.0 release).

why is it still looking for java 1.3.1

You need to edit the shortcut you are using to start MyEclipse, and add the -vm command line argument to it to point at your JDK’s install of javaw.exe, it will look something like this:

 C:\Java\eclipse-3.0.1\eclipse.exe -vm C:\Java\jdk1.4.2_06\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs -Xms256m -Xmx256m

Please note that the “-vmargs -Xms256m -Xmx256m” part is optional but highly recommended, so maybe add that is well for optimal execution.

[bettyboop]

Ok so I downloaded j2se again also – I had this initially too but I re installed, I mistakenly thought eclipse pointed to and needed j2ee

the command line above launches eclipse – thanks. But do I have to run this command everytime ? I ran this from the command line as I am not sure what file to ‘edit’.

could this be due to the fact I installed j2se after eclipse – should I uninstall eclipse and myeclipse and reinstall ??

thanks

[Riyad Kalla]

But do I have to run this command everytime ?

Yes, I can tell you how to create a shortcut, just let me know what Operating System you are on.

could this be due to the fact I installed j2se after eclipse – should I uninstall eclipse and myeclipse and reinstall ??

This shouldn’t matter, if we just set you up with a nice shortcut on your desktop it should be very straight forward.

[bettyboop]

Ok – great – windows XP

[Riyad Kalla]

1) Right click on your desktop > New > Shortcut
2) Point it at your eclipse.exe file (mine is: C:\Java\eclipse-3.0.1\eclipse.exe)
3) Hit next
4) Type a name “Eclipse”
5) Hit finish
6) Right click on your new shortcut, go to Properties
7) Look at your “Target” field, mine is: C:\Java\eclipse-3.0.1\eclipse.exe
8) Add the -vm and -vmargs arguments I talked about above, adjust the paths for your system; mine is now: C:\Java\eclipse-3.0.1\eclipse.exe -vm C:\Java\jdk1.4.2_06\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs -Xms256m -Xmx256m
9) Hit OK
10) Make sure Eclipse is shut down, now double click your new shortcut.

[bettyboop]

awesome – ok – i’m all set up…thanks so much

[Riyad Kalla]

No problem, glad to hear it.
