Unable to start Eclipse [message #231037] Mon, 19 April 2004 09:10 Go to next message

Have searched here, google, etc.

Eclipse throws an exception on startup for both M7 and M8. I started with
M8, and tried M7. (trace at end)

Works fine for other two developers here.

Win XP Pro (512mb), up to date patches. JDK 1.4.1_01. JBuilder 8 works
fine. We've compared everything we could think of.

1. C:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\jre\lib\ext directory contents are same.
2. "Installed" by unzipping package to c:\apps2 (resulting in
c:\apps2\eclipse).
3. Have also tried c:\eclipse
4. Have specified -vm, -data, and -debug on command line.
5. -debug scrolls by too fast. ANY WAY TO REDIRECT OUTPUT? Appears to be
going to StdErr?
6. I did a screen print "capture" (tried many time) and caught the start
of "error" messages once. It appears to load the 1st plugin OK, and then
starting with second one issues: "Unable to parse file
"c:\apps2\plugins\org.apache.lucene_1.3.0\plugin.xml" Appears that ALL
subsequent plugins give same message.

We can't figure out what the problem is.

Someone please help?

Thanks for the thought, but it didn't help. :(

I had forgotten to mention that one of the two other developers is running
the same JDK as I.

FWIW, I noticed that I have Windows .NET 1.1 installed. Anyone have that
and still able to run?

Are there any other "debug" options that would get more information?

The "-debug" option is almost useless, since Eclipse starts up a new
window, and it just scrolls off all the information.

I can't redirect stdErr. In case you can spot anything, redirecting stdOut
gives me this:
==========================================
Start VM: C:\WINDOWS\system32\java.exe
-Xms128M

-ws win32
-arch x86
-showsplash C:\apps2\eclipse\eclipse.exe -showsplash 600

You're running the VM in C:\WINDOWS\system32\java.exe. My -vm parameter
goes like this:

-vm c:\<path to jdk>\jre\bin\java.exe

I had noticed that and removed the Windows version, but no difference at
all.

Additional info which I don't understand is the "-exitdata 78_58" line
which is output in debug mode.

Would there be any way to start up Eclipse from within JBuilder 8? That's
been working fine for last two years. Or, another debugger, for that
manner.

It says it can't find packages, so it certainly seems like it should be
obvious, but it's not :(
