I’m getting the following exception when attempting to start myeclipse:
(jdk 1.4.2, eclipse 3.0m8, myeclipse 2.7/3.7)

What should I do to fix this?

This looks to be a problem with the core Eclipse install. I’d suggest redownload and reinstalling the Eclipse 3.0M8 SDK into a separate directory, and then running it by itself to make sure it starts up. Once it does, shut it down, reinstall MyEclipse 3.7.2, and then start it back up again.

Note that I said “Eclipse SDK” above, but the JDT will work just as well. If you are developing FOR eclipse (plugins, etc.) then get the SDK, if you are just using Eclipse for your own Java programming I believe the JDT will do the trick.

Hello – I’ve got the same problem, even with the suggestions above, can’t seem to be able to start Eclipse! Any more suggestions? Thanks –

Yes, I got this working.
I found that Eclipse 3.0 needs JDK 1.4. I checked Windows PATH environment variable and found that it contained c:\oracle\jre\bin. That was a 1.3 version of the JDK.

So…..

I removed that from my PATH and added in the path to:
c:\jdk1.4.2_03\bin (where my JDK 1.4 is inslalled)
I also set my JAVA_HOME environment variable to:
c:\jdk1.4.2_03

Everything worked fine after that.

Alternatively, you can use the startup param as Scott mentioned above. You can modify the shortcut that you use to launce eclipse. This is probably safer because you might install something that modifies your PATH.
