Hi

I'm working through Erich Gamma and Kent Beck's book on how to contribute
plugins. I tried launching a run-time workbench upon starting out to
create a plugin, and I get this message:

Exception occured during launch

Reason:
Launching failed. Required library "startup.jar" is missing from the
target platform.

The startup.jar is at C:\eclipse\startup.jar - I haven't moved it.

Any idea what I could try? See below for log entry.

Thanks for your help
Rohit


Here's the log entry:

What version of Eclipse are you using?
On the Java > Classpath variables preference page, what is the value of
the ECLIPSE_HOME variable?
On the Plug-in Development > Target Platform page, where is the location
of the platform you are developing for?
