I'm having the same problem and I made sure my JAVA_HOME is set. I used
both the 1.4 JVM and the latest (1.5) JVM. It does start if I create a
shortcut a provide the -vm option in the properties of the shortcut. But
that is not convenient because if I got into a folder with java files and
try to open one by double clicking, it tries to use eclipse.exe in my
eclipse directory and that fails because it doesn't seem to read the
JAVA_HOME variable.

ANy suggestions?

create a file called "eclipse.ini" and put it next to "eclipse.exe".
In the file add the -vm command. It will be used each time eclipse starts.
I think this was added in 3.1M4, so you may need to get a recent drop.

Still no luck. I tried the -vm in an ini file but it doesn't seem to pick
it up. I downloaded this latest Eclipse SDK on Tuesday so I'm pretty sure
I have the latest. I'm using the shortcut on my computer to get the job
done for now. This is bizarre as I was able to use eclipse without any
problem at my old job and I installed it several times there. My OS here
is Win 2000. That shouldn't make a difference, should it?

I don't think the eclipse.exe pays any attention to JAVA_HOME.
The overwhelming recommendation is to use the -vm command-line argument
to eclipse.exe - that is the only way to truly dictate which VM on your
system will be used.

I don't think that mode of use is supported. Eclipse is not a simple
editor like textpad - it was not designed to open arbitrary files
outside the workspace like that. What will happen, for example, if you
do that on two different files? You can't have two copies of Eclipse
running at the same time unless they use different workspaces.

Actually the files are not arbitrary, they are java source code files and
the icon next to them is eclipse and that's why they are being opened
using eclipse.exe.

I downloaded the latest eclipse (3.1) and now when I try starting it, it
says my jvm is 1.3.1_01 and a 1.4 jvm is needed. I have no idea where it's
picking that up from. The only jdk I can see on my 'puter is 1.5, this is
annoying. I also tried using the .ini file in the same directory but
eclipse.exe doesn't seem to pay attention to it.

Any ideas?

What do you see if you do "java -version" on the command line?
I bet you see 1.3.1_01 also.

See http://www.eclipsefaq.org/chris/faq/html/faq25.html for instructions
how to pass the -vm argument.

Who made that association with .java files on your system? Eclipse
doesn't do anything like that (unless it is a brand new feature of 3.1
which I haven't used).
Anyway, what I mean by 'arbitrary' is "files on your drive that are not
part of an Eclipse workspace."

As I said, using the -vm command-line argument to eclipse.exe - that is
the only way to truly dictate which VM on your system will be used.

Thank you all for resolving this newcomer’s problem. Could not make the
“ini” file work but creating a “bat” file with the same content suggested
below worked like a charm.
My problem started when the system instructed me to install Javasoft’s
plugins in order to display the Clock applet on Tomcat’s plugin example.
This brought in 1.2.2 jre version and point the system to it. The
JAVA_HOME and CLASSPATH are both pointing to 1.4, so it is not them. What
else could it be?????
To get around the problem, I created a file named “eclipse.bat” in the
same folder as “eclipse.exe” with the following line, “eclipse -vm
C:/Sun/J2EE/jdk/bin/javaw.exe”. Created a shortcut for and put it on my
desktop. WORKS GREAT!!!
I thank you all again.
Regards.
aa.
