I cannot start my eclipse environment on Windows 2000 because :-?
Anyway, the error message is as follows:
Pressing the eclipse button brings up
"JVM terminated. Exit code=2
C:\winnt\system32\javaw.exe
-cp C:\Apps\eclipse\startup.jar.org.eclipse.org.launcher.Main
-os win32
-ws win32
-arch x86
-showsplash C:\Apps\eclipse\eclipse.exe -showsplash 600"

Does somebody can tell me what it means or what is wrong?
Does javaw use the rt.jar? I ask because I do several of it (1.4.1, 1.3)
on the machine.
For any hint thankyou!

From the Eclipse FAQ
(http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/faq/eclipse-faq.html#users_3)

Once you have installed a Java developer kit, you can use the -vm command
line argument to launch eclipse. For example, if you have installed a Java
developer kit in c:\jdk1.3, you can launch eclipse with the following
command line:

eclipse.exe -vm c:\jdk1.3\bin\javaw.exe
