JVM [message #39200] Tue, 20 May 2003 08:02 Go to next message

Hi,

I have a machine running Java 1.2.0, (which I have to maintain to monitor
old code), but I want to run the latest Eclipse on it. I tried installing
Java 1.4, pointing Eclipse at that, but now of course, my default Java
version is 1.4 and not 1.2.0 as required. Can anyone help with how I can
run the two side by side.

Thanks in advance.

Unzip the 1.4 VM somewhere that it is not on your system path. Then
launch Eclipse by pointing it explicitly at the 1.4 VM, for example:

eclipse -VM d:\jdk1.4\jre\bin\javaw.exe

That way other programs will still see the Java 1.2 on your path, but
Eclipse will see the 1.4 VM.
