when i try to open MyEclipse it will not open and I receive the following error

“required java version 1.4.1: available 1.3.0_01

I have opened Java Web start and unchecked the 1.3.0_01
and checked 1.4.2_10…

I have already uninstalled all other versions of java prior to installing 1.4.2_10

I have also gone into properties of my computer and opened the environment varibles
and added NEW JDK_HOME JDK_HOME=C:\PATH\TO\JDK
JAVA_HOME JAVA_HOME=C:\PATH\TO\JDK

ALSO IN FRONT OF THE PATH WE HAVE %JDK_HOME%\BIN;

You can edit the shortcut you use to start Eclipse or edit the eclipse.ini file in your Eclipse directory to include the command line argument -vm and point at the VM you want to use, for example:

eclipse.exe -vm c:\jdk1.5.0_06\bin\javaw.exe

thank you I will let you know if this does the trick…

There was a slight problem with those arguements. They should have been

eclipse.exe -vm c:\jdk1.5.0_06\bin\javaw.exe

The -vmargs options is only used to pass additional arguments to the VM you specify like:
eclipse.exe -vm c:\jdk1.5.0_06\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs -Xms128M -Xmx512M
