rsood ,

Oracle install own JDK and this is incompatible with eclipse
You can try find your original JDK (before oracle install) and add parameter in eclipse

for example,
eclipse.exe -vm <PATH_TO_JAVA_EXECUTABLE> ….

path to java executable is $JAVA_HOME/bin/java on linux/unix and $JAVA_HOME/bin/javaw.exe on MS Windows

Best

[rsood]

I have now uninstalled oracle..and my path to java home is correct and my path is correct to and my eclipse still does not work

here is my current path
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\WBEM;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adaptec Shared\System;%MAVEN_HOME%\bin;%ANT_HOME%\bin;C:\Program Files\Symantec\pcAnywhere\;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\bin
here is my Java home
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_05

[Haris Peco]

It looks correct.

What is your program option for eclipse – right click on eclipse executable icon and choose properties and send contents of target

Try add -clean option , too

Best

[rsood]

Here are the contents of my target
D:\eclipse\eclipse.exe
I tried adding -clean option but did not work.

Starts in D:\eclipse

I am currently stepping away from my computer for at least 3 hrs..please reply I will get back …thank you so much for the quick replies..

[Haris Peco]

You start jdk 5.0 correct (from log), but eclipse search crimson sax parser (this is parser form jdk 1.4 and there isn’t in jdk 1.5) – this is strange and i suppose that there is problem in your configuration :

I think that you can try stiil next :

– try start i complete new workspace (add new directory in -data option in eclipse executable target;you will can revert to your workspace later)

If it doesn’t help you will must reconfgiure eclipse.I do next :

– remove all directories from ECLIPSE_HOME/configuration .There are more directories starting with org.eclipse
Don’t touch config.ini file

– restart eclipse with -clean option
– add extension location for MyEclipse : Help-Manage configuratin, right click on Eclipse SDK and choose Add (show to directory where MyEclipse)
– add other extension location if you have some

Best
–

[rsood]

I tried removing all directories from configuration folder and then restarting eclipse but that did not work..i did not understand what you meant by the following
“add extension location for MyEclipse : Help-Manage configuratin, right click on Eclipse SDK and choose Add (show to directory where MyEclipse)
– add other extension location if you have some”
do you think i should get jdk1.4…i do have crimson.jar in my classpath but it still does not work..
sorry for the late reply…i never got an update that you had replied…
this eclipse used to work with jdk1.5 earlier..

[Haris Peco]

jdk 1.5 must work fine, but you have to remove crimson from your path – 1.5 use newer xerces libraries

“add extension location for MyEclipse : Help-Manage configuratin, right click on Eclipse SDK and choose Add (show to directory where MyEclipse)

‘extension locaton’ is eclipse concept for installing plugins out of eclipse main tree – MyEclipse install go in extension location

you unpack plugins in some directory and add to eclipse with :

help – manage configuration – you will got new dialog with tree start with Eclipse SDK

right click on Eclipse SDK and show Add from context menu – choose your directory where are plugins (where you unpack MyEclipse, for example)

Here are the contents of my target
D:\eclipse\eclipse.exe
I tried adding -clean option but did not work.

It must work.You need target like this :
D:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -clean

Q: do you have jre directory in eclipse main tree (D:\eclipse) – if you have eclipse will try start with this jdk
You can remove it, because you have correct path for jdk 1.5 (if exists)

Best

[rsood]

i am going to follow your current directions and see how it goes…
right click on Eclipse SDK and show Add from context menu – choose your directory where are plugins (where you unpack MyEclipse, for example)

my eclipse doesnot start at all …and when i right click on the eclipse sdk shortcut on my desktop ..i do not see any add from context menu…are you talking about right clicking on myeclipse..

[rsood]

no my jre dir is like this
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05
my eclipse is at
d:\eclipse

[Haris Peco]

no my jre dir is like this
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05

I understand, but check for jre in d:\eclipse’jre – eclipse will start from here if this directory exists

my eclipse doesnot start at all …and when i right click on the eclipse sdk shortcut on my desktop ..i do not see any add from context menu…are you talking about right clicking on myeclipse..

from eclipse

Help – Software update-Manage configuration
you will got dialog with tree – start node is eclipse SDK
right click on eclipse SDK and you will got context menu with ‘Add …’
You need this only fatre remove all directories from d:\eclipse\configuration\org.eclipse.*

Best

Moving to OT > Soft Dev, this is a system installation problem and Snpe has been very curteous to help you this far. There is either something wrong with your JRE/JDK install or with how you have Eclipse installed, this is not a MyEclipse issue.

[rsood]

well it seems nothing seems to work, I am going to try and get new jdk…
just for fyi i do not have d:\eclipse’ jre..
what does OT>soft dev mean ?

[Haris Peco]

it’s only other forum
You have good jdk (jdk 1.5.0), but your eclipse grab other jdk from anywhere – see installed programs on your system for other jdk/jre

best

[rsood]

i have tried everything and …i looked into the installed programs too…there is no hidden java version…and I am just not understanding what is going..on..i really appreciate your help
