If this is happening when you click on the Eclipse icon, make sure that you have completely removed any previous Java installation. If you need to have Java 1.5, make sure that this installation is not referenced in the PATH environment variable.

If you can start eclipse, you can configure Eclipse projects to use the correct Java installation.

1. Click Window->Prefences from the menu.
2. Select Java-> Installed JREs
3. Select Add
4. Select Standard VM
5. Set the directory to your 1.6 jdk directory.
