Eclipse fails on startup [message #131016] Fri, 02 January 2004 13:21 Go to next message

I have been using Eclipse for a year or so without much difficulty. Then
after having to rebuild my system, Eclipse will no longer start. It fails
immediately and writes nothing to the console. Instead, it immediately
returns me to the command prompt and displays an error window stating:

JVM terminated. Exit code=1 C:\WINNT\system32\javaw.exe
-cp C:\program\eclipse\startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
-os win32
-ws win32
-arch x86
-showsplash C:\program\eclipse\eclipse.exe -showsplash 600

I have searched for days and found only suggestions that I have already
tried without luck:

--pointing -vm to a different JDK
--setting and resetting JAVA_HOME (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.3.1_10) and
JAVA_PATH (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.3.1_10\bin)
--uninstalling and reinstalling the JDK
--checking log files (JVM quits before writing anything, even to the
console.)

Any help would be appreciated, since I have several projects set up in
Eclipse and would hate to switch to yet another IDE.

It is unlikely that using the VM at "C:\WINNT\system32\javaw.exe" is going
to succeed.
Using the -vm arg is the solution I would expect to succeed.

Eclipse 3.0 builds require a 1.4.x JVM. Try installing JDK 1.4.2_03 and
see if that works.

I had a similar problem when I upgraded my Win2K system to M6. Here's the
steps I performed that finally got me past the problem (note the Unix style
commands, I'm running Cygnus):

cd /usr/local
mv eclipse eclipse.old
jar -xvf eclipse-SDK-3.0M6-win32.zip
cd eclipse/workspace
cp -rp ../../eclipse.old/workspace/.metadata .

These steps allowed me to start Eclipse w/o the IllegalStateException. And
my previous workspace settings seemed to be intact. If you don't have Cygnus
or some other Unix-style emulator, I'm sure the corresponding Windows
commands would work.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Gerald
