Dear All,

Recently, i have been unable to run eclipse on my machine, which has not
been a problem before! Everytime, i try to open the software, windows pops
up a dialog saying:

JVM terminated. Exit code = 2
C:\WINDOWS\javaw.exe
-cp
C:\pro\eclipse-SDK-2.0.2-win32\eclipse\startup.jar.org.eclip se.core.launcher.Main
-os win32
-ws win32
-arch x86
-showsplash
C:\pro\eclipse-SDK-2.0.2-win32\eclipse\eclipse.exe-showsplas h600

I've tried reinstalling ecplipse and my JDK 1.4, and it still pops up the
same message...Does anyone know what might be wrong with it???

Thanks,

James

Cheers mate,

I'll try that, and post the results again! Jus one quick
question...Eclipse doesn't seem to have an uninstall program, and i can't
remove it with the Add/Remove feature in Control Panel...Is it ok, to just
delete the folder and all of its contents???

You can safely just delete the Eclipse folder.

After re-installing try starting eclipse using the -vm arg so that you know
exactly which VM you are using to start Eclipse.
