javaw.exe not found at launch, eclipse 2.1.3 [message #256014]

On Windows XP ....

Apparently, when Eclipse launches, it doesnt use my PATH variable
correctly to
search for javaw.exe. What it does is append my PATH var to the eclipse
location.
So .... eclipse searches the invalid path
E:\eclipse\eclipse\"F:\Program Files\j2sdk_nb\j2sdk1.4.2\bin\"\

when it really be searching
"F:\Program Files\j2sdk_nb\j2sdk1.4.2\bin\" among other directories in
my path.

Any help??

Hello,

It is said that osgi is able to load and unload plugins dynamically.
I downloaded 3.0 final and extracted and launched it, and then I
extracted the RegTester plugin into the plugin/ folder, but I can't
find the RegTester view from the 'Show Views'->Others. And the doc
is not available in the Help->Contents. So is osgi available in
3.0 final? Or if available, how to enable it?

Although this is not a supported scenario, if you are interested in it
when shipping an application you can easily write an agent that monitors
what's going on on the file system and automatically install things.

Eclipse supports dynamic installation of plug-ins through the update
manager and of course when done programmaticaly.

OSGi is *the* 3.0 runtime. Nothing special is necessary to enable it.

To be sure which JRE is used simply use -vm <VM> argument when starting
eclipse.exe
