When I try to start WebSphere 5.0 from eclipse I get an error . I need help determining what the root cause is.

System Setup ——————————-
Operating System and version:Windows 2000
Eclipse version: 3.01
Eclipse build id: 200409161125
Fresh Eclipse install (y/n): Y
If not, was it upgraded to its current version using the update manager?
Other installed external plugins:
Number of plugins in the <eclipse>/plugins directory that begin with org.eclipse.pde.*: 8
MyEclipse version: 3.8.1
Eclipse JDK version: j2sdk1.4.2
Application Server JDK version: JDK1.3.1
Are there any exceptions in the Eclipse log file?

Application Server JDK version: JDK1.3.1

Please be sure you’re running WebSphere with the IBM JDK that ships with it. IBM severely modifies their JDK’s and WebSphere will not run with a Sun JDK at all. This sounds like what you’re seeing.

I have not modified the version that shipped with WebSphere. As far as I can tell that is the version that shipped with WebSphere.

I have not modified the version that shipped with WebSphere.

I just wanted to be sure you had configured the WebSphere server connector to point to IBM’s JDK on the preference page at Window > Preferences > Application Servers > WebSphere 5 > JDK. Could you reverify that?

Is this WAS 5.0 Advanced Server, that is configured with a database, rather than a server-config.xml file?

[dealbe]

That was exactly the problem! Thanks.
