[Raymond P Conklin]

Hi everybody. I’m new to the Java World. Finally moved from “Big Giant Microsoft”.

My environment is as follows:
Oracle 9i
JSDK SE 1.3.13
JSDK SE 1.4.2.06
Eclipse
My Eclipse
Tomcat 5.0.28

I’ve been struggling a lot with Oracle and finally I have it going. I removed Eclipse, My Eclipse, Tomcate and all JSDK and JRE’s to continue installing Oracle.

Finally I got a connection. I re-installed JSDK 1.3 and 1.4, Tomcat, Eclipse and My Eclipse. When I try to open Eclipse or My Eclipse I get the following error:

CAN SOMEBODY HELP. IM through MSN prconklin@msn.com

Good news, this is an easy one, from this part of your log (thank you for posting it):

It looks like Eclipse is picking up the 1.3.x JRE to run with, but it needs JRE 1.4+ to run, so all you need to do is create or edit the shortcut you are using to start Eclipse, and add a -vm argument to it to point to the actual javaw.exe executable that you want it to run:

eclipse.exe -vm c:\j2sdk1.4.2_06\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs -Xmx256m

The -vmargs allows Eclipse’s heap to be up to 256meg, which is recommended.

[Raymond P Conklin]

After doing a test on the C prompt.

It tells me it needed the VM, so I pointed to C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_06\bin\javaw.exe

I left the MB to 512 as in the prompt of the path.

Please tell me if this is going to be a problem with development down the road.

It tells me it needed the VM, so I pointed to C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_06\bin\javaw.exe

This will launch Eclipse, but MyEclipse needs you to point to a JDK install, like my example above, so it can find the javac executable in order to validate the JSP pages you work on.

I left the MB to 512 as in the prompt of the path.

Even better

Please tell me if this is going to be a problem with development down the road.

Which part were you concerned with?
