Hi,

I started my subscription last year. I have downloaded Workbench v3.6.0 last year and installed in my PC, everything runs fine.

I now have a new PC and need to install MyEclipse to it (My old PC is gone). When I run the installation file it prompt me for the “Eclipse 3.0M2” directory. It seems that this installtion file that I am running is an upgrade version. Is there anyway for me to install the Workbench now without the Eclipse 3.0M2 installation file? I look forward to your assistance because I really need to use it soon.

My new PC OS is Windows XP Professional, 512M Ram, 2.?GHz.

Thank you.

suraphol,
That particular version of MyEclipse you are trying to use required Eclipse 3.0M2, the current release of MyEclipse for you is 3.7RC2, which requires Eclipse 3.0M6, and in about 2 weeks, the 3.7 GA will be released, which will require Eclipse 3.0 M7.

To summarize, if you want to keep the EXACT same setup you are used to working with, then yes you will need to go download Eclipse 3.0 M2, if you don’t mind upgrading, then downloading Eclipse 3.0M6 and MyEclipse 3.7RC2 should do the trick.

And don’t forget, in 2 weeks you will need to upgrade again because 3.7 GA is going to be out with a lot of bug fixes and new features.

– Message Body ——————————-
Hi,

I finally downloaded the MyEclipse 3.7RC2 and Eclipse 3.0M6. I have installed Eclipse 3.0M6, and then MyEclipse 3.7RC2. When I start the workbench I received the following error:

————————————————————————————
Eclipse
JVM terminated. Exit code=1
C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe
-cp C:\Eclipse\eclipse-SDK-3.0M6\eclipse\startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
-os win32
-ws win32
-arch x86
-showsplash C:\Eclipse\eclipse-SDK-3.0M6\eclipse\eclipse.exe -showsplash 600
————————————————————————————

I am using Java SDK 1.4.2. Also, I cannot see the C:\Eclipse\eclipse-SDK-3.0M6\eclipse\.config” file either. I think something is wrong with Eclipse (not in workbench), do you know how I can fix it?

[Riyad Kalla]

The config file is actually located in your workbench directory, that is usually in:
C:\Eclipse\eclipse-SDK-3.0M6\eclipse\workbench

But you are right, this seems more like a Eclipse install problem. When you type java-version at the console, what prints out? If nothing prints out, that is probably the first problem. You can try and force Eclipse to launch with a particular VM by doing:

eclipse.exe -vm c:\path\to\javaw.exe

from your command line (replace the path\to part with the actual path on your computer). If this doesn’t work, then I might try reinstalling Eclispe, running it once, make sure it runs, close it, then install MyEclipse.

Forcing the VM works fine. Thank you so much for your quick response.

No problem, I’m glad it worked.
