Problem Opening Eclipse [message #249493]

Hi:

When I double click the eclipse.exe, after the splash window, there is a
big message box reading: JVM terminated. Exit Code=-1...(very long message
and it dosn't allow to copy, otherwise I will paste it here), then I click
OK and nothing happens.

The problem won't go away until I reboot the PC.

Anyone know what happened and how to fix it?

Thank you very much

Wen

Hello

Try to open eclipse using eclipsec command to see the output.

Look for .log file in your workspace .metadata folder (I am not sure if
this exists in this case).

Try to rewrite that message.

Regards,
Chris

What OS?
What Eclipse version?
What are the contents of your eclipse.ini file?
What, if any, command-line arguments are you passing to eclipse.exe?

Hi Eric:

ini: -showsplash
org.eclipse.platform

No argument, I double click the eclipse icon to active eclipse.

Thank you

Hi Chris:

Can't see the output by 'eclipse' in command prompt.
No record of the error msg in .log file.

I have the screen shot stored in the following link(please close the ads
first)

Thank you very much

I see from your screen shot that you've got JRE 1.6. Can you try
installing JDK 1.5 and direct Eclipse to use that as described in
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini

In FireFox, the ads obscure the text, and at least one of them cannot be
closed at all. That site makes me pretty nervous and I would advise other
people NOT to follow this link.

Wen, are you sure the text in that message box can't be copied? If you hit
Ctrl+C while the messagebox has focus, and then open a text editor and
Ctrl+V, do you get anything?

Hi Eric:

The problem solved!!

Thank you for your great help.
Before I install 1.5, I actually directed Eclipse by adding this line to
ini

C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\javaw.exe

And then I can open up Eclipse smoothly whenever I want.

But since you suggested me to install JDK 1.5, can I ask why?

Thank you

Wen

It was a "shot in the dark." I've seen 1 or two people report that
(supposedly) switching from Java 6 to Java 5 solved some strange
behavior they were seeing.

I would still suggest that you use a JDK instead of a JRE - if you
install the JDK _with_ the source code option it is a much nicer
experience in Eclipse.

Hope this helps,
Eric
