JDK configuration [message #180023] Tue, 14 November 2006 16:30 Go to next message

Is there a way to configure which jdk is used to execute eclipse. I have
other products on my machine that have configured and loaded jdk1.3. If I
add jdk1.4 in the path earlier it breaks these other tools.

thx

yes. go to project properties, under Java Compiler, you can specify the JDK
compliance

But isn't that for the project and not for eclipse itself ? Eclipse finds
the first jdk on the path to load itself. Isn't there an .ini file that I
could update with the jdk I want to use to execute eclipse ??

Rick,
The deafult Eclipse JRE is selected by:

Window->Preferences->Installed JREs

This is a pretty common question - please search the message archives
before posting new questions.
Specifically, see this message I recently posted:

The gist of it is that you should specify a -vm argument, either on the
eclipse.exe command line on in eclipse.ini

Hope this helps,
Eric
