I have Eclipse 3.2.2 MyEclipse 5.5M2
I am able to run JDK 1.5 compatible Java codes.
but when I try to generate web service client through MyEclipse web servcie client wizard,
I got ‘A Java 1.5 VM is required for WSDL based generation’ message

I check

Preferenced << Java << Installed JRES jdk1.5
Project Properties << Java Build Path << Libraries jdk1.5

my code has jdk1.5 syntax
ArrayList<String> l = new ArrayList<String>();

The only difference is I did not install jdk1.5 in my system (jdk1.4 is required in my current project)

I guess MyEclipse might check System JAVA_HOME or installed JRE in c:\Program Files\Java\j2rexxx

However this is not correct since in most cases we have different jdk in our machine for either development or research.

msu,
If you installed MyEclipse yourself and didn’t use the all-in-one installer, the Eclipse platform launcher looks for the first compatible VM in your path then uses it to launch itself. In this case it sounds like it found a 1.4 VM and is running MyEclipse with it, so when you go to run the WS tool, it’s unable to generate 1.5 code.

I would suggest editing your shortcut for MyEclipse and add the -vm command line arg and point it directly at the 1.5 VM you want to launch it with, like so:

eclipse.exe -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_12\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs (REST OF ARGS HERE)

notice that you actually have to point all the way to the javaw.exe you want to be used.

The next screen does show up now!
You guys really do a good job!
