hi,
do you have an oracle installation? this often is changing the classpath to its own version, which is 1.3.0_01 for aracle 9.2

regards Jürgen

Jürgen is right about oracle. Can you open up a command prompt and type “java -version” just to confirm what version your system is defaulting to?

thanks guys, even if you didn’t solve the problem for him, you solved it for me.

I am not a Java guy (yet), and the classpath seems like a mytery to me.
I have exactly the same problem with Oracle changing version of Java, so Eclipse can not start.

Could you please help me and advice how I can change this classpath or anything to point to a new Java version, which is here: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05\

I tried set classpath=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05\bin
java -cp .C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05\bin;
etc.

They all do not work, they say java.lang.NoClassDefFound error. What exactly should I type to eliminate this Oracle problem?

Thank you very much!

Setting the classpath on the command line always has issues. The best thing to do to make eclipse start is the following if you have winxp:

– Install the full blown JDK somewhere on C:\
– Right click My Computer > Properties
– Go to Advanced Tab and then click “Environment…”
– Now in the system variables set the following 2 variables.

JDK_HOME=C:\PATH\TO\JDK
JAVA_HOME=C:\PATH\TO\JDK

– Then modify your PATH system variables and when you edit it, place the following in the *front* of the path value:

%JDK_HOME%\bin;<THE REST OF THE PATH VALUE>

– Hit OK and OK

Now eclipse should find your newly installed JDK first and launch properly.

Thank you very much, Greg! 🙂
Now everything works! 🙂
