Cannot install JRE 1.6 [message #186533]

Hi,

I cannot install Sun's JRE 1.6 using
Windows->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs. Using the Browse button I
point it to the right directory but I get an error message that says
"libraries cannot be empty".

I have checked permissions in my JRE installation and all appears fine.
I have also tried installing my JRE 1.5 and that works fine too.

Any ideas?

Solved. I removed my workspace. That didn't do it. I removed the
..eclipse directory from my home directory. That didn't do it. I removed
all subdirectories from the configuration directory in my eclipse
installation directory. That did it. For some reason there must be some
configuration information that gets stored in there.
