Eclipse's error on startup in windows 7

Question

Good day.

I decided to learn Java. I installed JDK and downloaded eclipse-java-helios-SR1-win32 for windows 7.

But i can\'t launch eclipse becau

Answer 1

I had the same issue after a Java update provided by my employer. Everything was working just fine and then the update arrived. Suddenly Eclipse Helios Service Release 2 did not launch giving me the same error msg that you got.

The solution was to download the latest JRE from www.java.com, JRE 1.6 update 30. I did not have to do any changes to eclipse.ini at all.

Hope this will help someone who is experiencing the same issue. :-)
