Hello,

I am using Eclipse 3.02 (with PHPEclipse) and would like to upgrade to
3.1. So I downloaded the full package, but cannot start it. The
following error stack occurs:

Any idea?

Is there any interesting information in the .metadata/.log file?

Also, did you unpack Eclipse 3.1 into a new directory, or on top of your
3.02 install?

By the way, there also are some threads on this going on at
eclipse.platform. I haven't seen any answers posted yet, but you might keep
an eye out there.

Are you suppose to unzip it on top of your 3.0.2 directory or into a new
directory? I always have done it in a new directory and had to copy over
the plugins and redo my configuration.

Good rule of thumb is to never install over top...always into a new
directory

Hello,

I installed it into a new directory, without touching the old one.

It is often the case that people download the Eclipse RCP (SDK or
Runtime), which does not contain any applications, so it cannot be run.
The Eclipse SDK has more than 90 plugins. The Eclipse RCP SDK has less
than 20.

I can confirm that using the RCP-SDK rather than the full (100meg plus)
SDK will give you this exact error. Happened to me...

Yep, many of us made the same mistake.

After downloading the wrong SDK, this is sort of an "other than that, how
did you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln" type of comment, but it seems the RCP
download does have a different/cool icon for eclipse.exe.
