Hi,

I suddenly get the above error (subject line) when I run Eclipse (with
MyEclipse) after a XP reboot. I did not see any change except I trying to
install and uninstall Oracle Client.

If anyone has clue to fix this error, please let me know.

Thanks

Qu

Assuming you use Windows, I'd check your eclipse shortcut and see where
Eclipse.exe is placed.
Then open a commandline and swich to that directory.
In there type "java -version"

I guess that the Oracle thingy may have installed some java and thus
modified some Java settings in your registry.
After uninstalling it, the java it installed is now gone. But the
"pointer" in registry not reset.
But that is only a guess

Regards Henrik.

I am trying to locate the registry and think how do I know the original
value and change it back. Now i have to run eclipse from command line.

eclipse -vm "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_08|jre\bin\javaw"

The Oracle client is notorious for installing out-of-date Java versions at
the head of the path.

Yes, Oracle has messed up your PC path.
Anyway, it is best to run Eclipse with a -vm parameter. You can also
specify it in the eclipse.ini file, which I have just written about in
another thread a few minutes ago.

Hope this helps,
Eric
