Hi all,
I had Eclipse up and running fine, after a weekend of not using my PC I
returned to it to find that Eclipse would not launch.
I get the following error: Required Java Version V1.4.1. Available
1.3.1_01.
I've not changed anything since I last used Eclipse and I've even tried to
install Java 1.4.2 again but have had no luck.
Can any of you guys please help?!!
Many thanks
Shaun

The most common culprit that changes your system-wide classpath to
include its own JRE is the Oracle client. What it does (without
prompting or warning the user) is simply evil and has bitten many people
in the past.
Edit your system env variables and make sure there is no other JRE in
the path. I also strongly recommend specifying an exact JVM for
launching Eclipse, using the -vm option as described in
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/FAQ_How_do_I_run_Eclipse%3 F
Hope this helps,
Eric
