configure eclipse to use MS Java? [message #198748]

Hi all,

Is it possible to configure eclipse to use MS Java? I tried to set Ms Java
as alternate JRE (Preferences -> Installed JREs -> Add JRE), but I get an
error that there is no java executable in msJDK4.0. Thanks in advance for
any help.

Regards,
Maciek Zywno

I doubt it. The MS VM is hacked to allow method pointers (thanks,
Anders!) with their Delegate/MulticastDelegate classes, which is rather
alien to the normal Java world, and I reckon all the building and source
groking and whatnot that's in Eclipse would have to be likewise hacked
to handle this.

The team I'm working with currently is a J++ project, and we are able to
still take advantage of a lot of things in Eclipse, though we're still
hampered at times. Dern WFC.
