starting eclips [message #724307] Sun, 11 September 2011 23:31 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hello, i am a new user to eClips.
I downloaded eClips -e-Helios -SR1-win32-x86 64.
onto my windows7 x64 OS.
I saved it in my program Files. this is where my JAVA and my JDK are also saved.
the versions of JAVA and JDK are:
Java™ oracle 12/3/2010 97.0MB 6.0.260
Java™ oracle 07/14/2011 91.6.0MB 6.0.260
Java(TM) SEDK 6 update 26(64) oracle 07/14/2011 147MB 1.6.0.260


When I go to start eClips I get this error message:
Java was started but return exit code =1
c:\windows\system32\java.exe - dosgi required java version 1.5
xms 40mb
xmx 512
xx:Max Perm size 256m.
Jar
...
I am not sure what the problem since my versions seem to be the right ones. I do have all three files under my program Files.
Someone suggested to me to check the environment variables but I don't know what to put into the system environment box if i had to add a variable to it.
I also use a screen reader so i am not sure if this is the right version of eClips.

Can anyone help me get eClips up and running?
I never used it before to build Java applits.
If I don't have the right JDK or the right eClips version please help me know what I need to do to correct this and get eClips up and running.

thanks in advance.

You are probably using older version of JDK. You need to use a 1.5 or greater version of JDK. Look at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini#Specifying_the_JVM to specify the vm.

You are using Java 32bit on your Eclipse 64bit version, for me this give clashes. You have to set the path to the correct Java in your System environment variable otherwise Eclipse could use the 32bit Java version in the System32 map (which is default, and that is how it is set now as I can see in your log file) or you can set -vm <enter> javatojdkpath in the eclipse.ini file. (see Satyam's post)
