Hello,

i´m using MyEclipse 4.0 on Eclipse 3.1.0. My JDK-Version is 1.4.2. This configuration was working fine. Today i downloaded the new version of MyEclipse (4.1.) and after installation i tried to start it and got the following message

Required Java Version 1.4.1. Available 1.3.1_01

I didn´t change anything with my jdk. What´s wrong here?

Any ideas or hints would be much appreciated.

Christoph

Christoph,

Perhaps you installed some other software in the interim that changed some enviroment variables on your computer?
In any case, you can fix this easily by adding the following string to your existing eclipse startup shortcut.

-vm d:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin\javaw.exe

for example

eclipse -vm d:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin\javaw.exe

Don’t forget to replace d:\j2sdk1.4.2_05 with the path to your JDK 1.4 installation.

Let us know if you require further assistance,

Best,
Brian.

Hi Brian,

I have same problem like Christoph, but I don’t know which file I can add string like “eclipse -vm d:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin\javaw.exe”?

Thanks
Cathy

Cathy,

How do you start eclipse? You usually have a shortcut on the Desktop.
You can right click this shortcut, and choose properties. Move to the Shortcut tab and edit the string in the target box.

Be sure to replace the path to the javaw.exe with a path that is correct for your machine.

Let us know if you requre further assistance.
Best,
Brian.
