I am having a bit of trouble running eclipse after an install and I do not know where to turn.

I run eclipse and I get the following error in configuration/xxxxxxxxxxxx.log

I looked at some documentation and it said that it is a good idea to specify the vm. I did this and it looks like eclipse tries to use -cp as a command line argument. This caused javah to complain. I am a bit stuck here.

Comments?

Using Java 1.2 is likely your problem, I noticed the exception above in the signature of the URL class, I believe you need to be using atleast Java 1.3 to run Eclipse 2.x

I looked at some documentation and it said that it is a good idea to specify the vm. I did this and it looks like eclipse tries to use -cp as a command line argument.

What is the entire command line argument you are using to start Eclipse? I think you might be using it incorrectly.

ALSO, where do you have Java 1.3+ installed on your system? (Not Java 1.2)

[rodericj]

I got it to work. There was a newer version of Java installed on the system. Once I pointed the -vm to that location everything was fine.

Thanks.

Thank you for the followup, I’m glad it is working now.
