Hello - I'd appreciate help in resolving the problem outlined below:-

Downloaded eclipse-SDk-3.2m3-win32 and installed okay.
Executing eclipse.exe brings up the JAVA -Eclipse SDK screen. When I hit
the HELP button it provides the pull-down menu: Welcome, Help Contents,
Search, Dynamic Help, etc. When I hit on Help Contents a screen appears
very briefly then the Java - Eclipse SDK screen disappears and a small
message screen appears as shown below:

JVM terminated. Exit code = 1
C:\Windows\system32\javaw.exe
-Xms40m
-Xmx256m
-jar C:\eclipse-SDK-3.2m3-32\eclipse\startup.jar
-osWin32
-wsWin32
-archX86
-launcher C:\eclipse-SDK-3.2m3-32\eclipse\eclipse.exe
-name Eclipse
-showsplash 600
-exitdata e3c_44
-vm C:\Windows\System32\javaw.exe
-vmargs40m
-Xmx256m
-jar C:\eclipse-SDK-3.23-32\eclipse\startup.jar

I've any number of things but to no avail. Any of the pulled down menu
item sdo the same thing. It appears from the message screen that it is
repeating itself, in some sort of a loop.

Thanks for help
Terence

Key is the "C:\Windows\system32\javaw.exe" line... you need a real Java
JRE installed ... get it from Sun or IBM or anywhere but the stock M$
Windows one.

But I have a j2re1.4.2_10 downloaded from SUN installed. The regedit
appears okay. The Eclipse won't execute at all without a Java JRE. 'Tis is
a mystery!

But your original message's error results clearly indicated that the
default Windows javaw.exe was being used... did you add the SUN jre to
your path before executing eclipse??

I fixed it by downloading Sun JRE 1.5.0_06. The link on the Eclipse page
for a JRE took me to JRE 1.4.2_10 which I used but apparently it takes the
later version to work.
