Eclipse fails to start after updating [message #45511]

Hi all!

I have happily been using Eclipse since the beginning of February (and
have been making fun of my classmates, who use the limited version of
JBuilder), but the fun has stopped since we got to the grafical stuff.

I let Eclipse search for updates to install to get the correct files, but
after installing, it did not display the JFrame (VE, had GEF & EMF
downloaded and installed as well) correctly, refused to run the graphical
application and then said new features were ready to be installed (after
running automatic update in the backgroup).

Unwise, I allowed it to install the updates - and now my Eclipse is
refusing to start at all. I get an error message similar to the one I
would get if it could not find my java (I am using 1.5 on Windows XP Pro),
but that is not the problem, as I get the same error message regardless of
the path being included in my shortcut or not.

Can someone please help me, as I would hate to have to surrender to
JBuilder? I am getting to be Eclipse addicted and I really neeeeeed my
programming fix.

The version of Eclipse is 3.1.M. My log says:

Hi,

The OutOfMemoryError indicates that there is not enough memory to run
Eclipse. You can use the -vmargs -Xmx directive to add more memory available
for the Java VM.

Eg. if you have eclipse installed under c:\eclipse, jdk under c:\jdk and you
have at least 512MB of physical memory you can use the following shortcut to
start Eclipse:

c:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -vm c:\jdk\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs -Xmx384M

Maybe this helps.

HTH,
Regards,
Csaba

Thank you, it seems my Eclipse is once more able to start. Now I just have
to get that darn graphical stuff working...
