I apologize if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find this
error after browsing the newsgroup for several minutes. I downloaded
Eclipse 2.1 for Windows. Running eclipse.exe fails to launch and creates
the following .metadata\.log file:


C:\eclipse>java -version
java version "1.4.1-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1-beta-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1-beta-b14, mixed mode)

C:\eclipse>eclipse
C:\eclipse>type .metadata\.log
