Greetings,

I installed MyEclipse IDE v 3.0.1 on windows xp but I am not able to bring up the IDE. I am getting a prompt asking me to look at some log file. The log file contents are as follows:

Rama, this is the problem, Eclipse 3.x requires JRE 1.4+ to run, and it is being run with a 1.3 JRE right now (per the log file). I suggest installing a 1.4 or greater JRE on your system, then using the -vm command line argument to start Eclipse by pointing it at the javaw.exe executable on your machine, for example you might change your shortcut to look like this:

eclipse.exe -vm c:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs -Xmx256m

The -vmargs section gives Eclipse more memory and helps it run more effectively.
