I've installed:
elipse-sdk-3.0.2-win32.zip
ibm-java2-jre-ibm-i42.exe
and get the following message when I launch eclipse.exe:

!SESSION Wed May 11 08:26:39 EDT 2005
------------------------------------------
!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.launcher 4 0 May 11, 2005 08:26:39.597
!MESSAGE Exception launching the Eclipse Platform:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not find framework
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.getBootPath(Main.java:395)
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:174)
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:704)
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:688)

(I get the same message when using the -vm parameter). Is this a problem
with my path varibles?

This is usually caused by one of two thigns:

A) Eclipse's directory sutrcture was not unzipped correctly. Make sure
you have in your Eclipse install directory a complete structure that
icnludes a .eclipseproduct file and directories named configuration,
features, and plugins. Try unzipping again to another location, making
sure the structure and number of resulting files is correct.

B) The dreictory in which Eclipse is installed contains some unusual
characters in its path. What is the full path of the istall directory
you used?
