2 newbie questions [message #117618] Mon, 17 November 2003 10:17 Go to next message

I'm trying to use Eclipse for the first time and have a couple of newbie
questions. Forgive me if these have been answered elsewhere, but I have
searched for documentation and haven't been able to find anything that
resolved my issues.

First: Will Eclipse run in Windows NT 4? It's not explicitly supported
but I wondered if anyone had success doing so.

Second: I'm experiencing difficulties downloading Eclipse. I would like
to download the zip for the latest stable build of the SDK for windows,
but when I do so it is not recognized as a valid archive. I have tried
several different mirrors and different versions. I found documentation
saying to delete any extra files generated by a previous download and try
again if the download fails, but this hasn't made any difference. I have
no problems downloading and opening other zips. Thoughts?

Regards,

David

Hi,

Some of my colleagues use Eclipse 2.1.1 on Windows NT4 SP6a and it works,
they see only some minor UI differences (i.e. there are no icons in menu).

HTH,

Are you trying to pull a stable release build or one of the nightly
builds? If its a nightly, then it could just be a bad zip. If its one of
the releases, then I'd say something is mixed up on your end since we
are all using/commenting on the releases (2.1.2 and 3.0M4).

Maybe try and grab one of the stable releases, see if that works. Are
you using a download accelerator? While I've only had them corrupt a
couple downloads out of 1000s, maybe try downloading it without the
accelerator turned on.
