Eclipse Misreading Installed JVM Version [message #309337]

Every indication that I can pull up - including sun's site at
http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml are saying that I'm running
1.5.0_06. I try running the eclipse IDE and I get the following error:
Version 1.3.1_01 of the JVM is not suitable for this product. Version
1.4.1 or greater is needed.

I have uninstalled and reintalled Java SE as well as doing a registry
search for JAVA, JVM and 1.3.1 and turned up no likely culprits.

I am running Windows XP SP2 in a corporate environment with administrator
priv's.

Advice?

Answer found myself moments after posting. I added the following to my
environment variables in the path and it worked instantly:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin

Hope this helps someone else

This is a bad idea. Use -vm C:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\java.exe when starting eclipse.

What's wrong with that? It just means that Andrew is using Java 1.5 by
default for everything. There's nothing wrong with that.

There is. Assume that there was also a 1.3 (or whatever) VM on the path
and the tool that installed it expect 1.3. It is always best to
explicitly specify the VM if possible.
