Scott,

I had a problem on my laptop that whenever I ran a Swing application the machine would crash. I finally solved it by reinstalling my JDK. One thing about the Install Anywhere installers/uninstallers – they don’t necessarily pick the JVM that’s first in your path. You may have an antique on your system that it’s finding, or maybe not.

Rather than uninstalling 2.6.3, I’d suggest you simply upgrade your installation using our update site. Instructions on how to do that are here:

For whatever reason, if you decide you want to manually uninstall MyEclipse anyway, you can find out how to do that here:

Thanks for the help and quick response. The update worked perfectly. I will look into your comment about multiple JDK/JVM versions when my current project winds down.
