Eclipse 3.0.2
Debian Linux with kernel 2.6
Java version: 1.4.2_08-b03

I have only one Java installation on the machine and it resides in the path. When running the command

sh EnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_030804.bin

this is waht I get:

Preparing to install...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...

Launching installer...

Invocation of this Java Application has caused an InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit. (LAX)

I am running the command as ‘root’.

Any idea what is wrong?

Whenever installshield fails it is because it is usually finding GCJ on your system and attempting to run itself with it… extremely annoying. You can force the VM it uses by setting the env variable:
LAX_VM=/opt/jdk1.4.2_08/bin/java

where that path is the entire path to the java executable. You can also just download and use the manual install, it’s, IMO, an easier install process (2 steps) and the instructions are included in the zip file.
