[eclipse-dev] Problems starting the Eclipse SDK

["Luis Rodrigo" <lrodrigo@xxxxxxxxx>]

    Hi all,

    I have recently downloaded the eclipse SDK file for Windows and
installed (decompressed) it in my computer (Windows 2000). I have j2sdk1.4.2
also installed.

    When I try to start the IDE, I get a message that says "Problems during
startup. Chack the ".log" file in the ".metadata" directory of your
workspace". The .log file contents are the following:



!SESSION -------------------------------------------------------------------

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.launcher 4 0 feb 27, 2004 12:37:21.100
!MESSAGE Exception launching the Eclipse Platform:

    I have tried to define a personalized workspace and pointing the JVM in
the command line, as the FAQ suggests, but none seemed to make a difference.

	Any clues about the reasons for this problem?

	Thanks in advance!
