hello, i have installed JDK J2SE1.7, then J2EE, then Eclipse, then GWT. My first webapp was working, but an error indicated i should use JRE1.5. i have installed JRE1.5. then Eclipse was not starting anymore. I receive an error when launching eclipse - error: registry key JRE version has value 1.5 and should have 1.7.
i have reinstalled JDK J2SE and J2EE, and eclipse, but the error persists...
what can i do?

many thx
hugues

Go back to using 1.7, for one thing. Not sure what error sounded like
you should use 1.5, but for most of Eclipse, you need at least 1.6.
