Hi all,

I had originally installed the 1.5.0 JDK, but read that that would cause debugging problems.

OK. So then I installed 1.4.2_06, but Eclipse/MyEclipse (not sure which is doing what…) still thought it was using 1.5.0.

OK. So, then I removed the 1.5.0 JDK, and re-set the JDK to the 1.4.2_06 and cleaned all projects.

Eclipse/MyEclipse still has tons of references to the 1.5.0 JDK and won’t debug at all. I get the “Specified VM not found” when trying to debug an Applet in the project.

Log says:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.jdt.launching 4 150 Dec 11, 2004 10:06:04.796
!MESSAGE Specified VM install not found: type Standard VM, name jre1.5.0

There is no longer any jre1.5.0 in any of the workbench settings I can find.

There are two files that still have tons of references to jre1.5.0:

c:\eclipse\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.jdt.launching\libraryInfos.xml
c:\eclipse\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench\workbench.xml

How do I un-confuse Eclipse/MyEclipse?

Did I miss some JRE setting somewhere?

The installed JREs in the Workbench…Java…Installed JREs are two:

1. C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06
2. C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06\jre

(I added 2. above to see if Eclipse/MyEclipse needed more help finding the JRE). I’ve also tried each 1. and 2. above separately, but Eclipse/MyEclipse isn’t happy then either…

Can you please help me get this JRE issue resovled?

Thank you very much in advance.

How do I un-confuse Eclipse/MyEclipse?

Navigate to your project properties > Java Build Path > Libraries, make sure you have the appropriate JRE Libraries added to your build path, most likely the old JDK 5.0 ones are there and not the new 1.4.2_06 ones. You need to do some audits of your project settings, then rebuild them.

Don’t think so. Just the 1.4.2_06 was there.

There were so many references in just about every file in the plug-in directory I had to delete Eclipse/MyEclipse and start completely over.

This was a major pain.

If you want to see for yourself, try this out, try:

Installing 1.5.0 on your computer and then install a fresh copy of Eclipse/MyEclipse.

Add a project to it and deploy (make sure you have the JDK identiified)

Install 1.4.2 on your computer.

Un-install 1.5.0 from your computer

Go into MyEclipse and make whatever changes you can in the interface
Use a search tool like File Locator Pro and search for “jre1.5.0” in the Eclipse directory tree.

I think you’ll be amazed how messed up Eclipse is. There was no way I could find to fix it though the interface.

If you have time to try this send me a private message/email in case I don’t check this forum for a few days, OK?

Thanks very much.

I only get the same error when I try to run ANT.

I dont have any references to the missing (old) JDK in my project (under build path etc) and the runtime values for ANT are pointing at the new JDK.

“java -version” gives the new JDK.

JAVA_HOME is defined for the new JDK.

if anyone has any more suggestions??????????? that would be great
