I'm working with eclipse 3.1 on a windows xp pro laptop. I have been

cannot figure out how to do this. I can go and see the config file in the
help section but it points to another jre that was included with an Oracle
application suite. Where do I change the config file so it points to the
jre that I want to use?

In the eclipse.ini file located where the eclipse.exe is, you add:
-vm
path_to_my_1.5.0_06_JRE

Be sure put it before the -vmargs entries. -vmargs needs to be the last
entries.

My eclise.ini file looks like this:

-debug
-consolelog
-nl
fr_CA
-vm
D:\jdks\jdk1.4.2_11\jre\bin\java.exe
-showlocation
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx300M

Hello,

I have the exact same problem.

After installing Oracle Database which comes with JRE 1.3, the eclipse.exe
won't start the aplication anymore giving the following error: Requiered
Java Version 1.4.1, available 1.3.1_01.

I can still use the startup.jar to open eclipse but why does the .exe not
recognise the JRE 1.4.2 or the 1.5 I have installed after installing
Oracle. Does anyone know where to change the parameter of the JRE eclipse
uses to startup???

Kind regards,
Eneko Prins (a eclipse newbe <:)

Please search the newsgroups for previous messages about a topic before
asking. This is something that is asked and answered very often.
If you read answers from me, you'll find lots of references to this
page: http://eclipsewiki.editme.com/StartupProblems

Oracle's installation is a nasty beast, it modifies your system
classpath which in turn breaks other Java applications like Eclipse. The
page above will help you resolve it.

Hope this helps,
Eric

Sounds like it would save both the asker and the answerer a lot of time if
the Eclipse download pages had a direct link to a platform-appropriate
Installation FAQ. Or any clearly marked Installation FAQ for that matter.

Try the Eclipse Bugzilla - I suspect it is already entered, but if not
please add a request. I'm sure the webmaster can accommodate.
