Eclipse doesn't start

I try to start Eclipse. It says:

<b>An error as occurred. See the log file...</b>

In the log file I watch:

!SESSION Tue Feb 08 18:40:36 MSK 2005
------------------------------------------
!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.launcher 4 0 СРµРІ
08, 2005 18:40:36.686
!MESSAGE Exception launching the Eclipse Platform:

    at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:704)

What to do?

I get the same error -- did you find out what the problem was?

I think it's about access privileges of files or directories. In winxp sp2,
I unzipped as admin and trying to run as a user, met this message.

moved c:\...\eclipse\ to c:\ took several seconds: seemed to copy, not
move (though the orig. files were deleted), and it made eclipse to work.

moved to c:\program files\..., and it moved in an instant (as you expect
within one partition)

Even on Linux, someone mentioned somewhere that moving eclipse to a
different location changed the error message to something completely
different.

I think it's as severe as a bug in eclipse that the log doesn't give any
hint about the root of the problem...

Well~
In my opinion it seems that it s sth about VM setting
I would suggest you try specifying the VM you are using by adding things
like '-vm c:\java\jre\javaw' after eclipse.exe

Yes I had the same problem quite a while back, which I figured out was
due to multiple JREs and eclipse picking up the wrong one. I had to
explicitly specify the vm to use in the shortcut to eclipse.

-vm "c:\program files\Java\jre\1.4.2\bin\javaw.exe"

Hi, I had the same problem that pvr was experiencing, and I still got
the same log file errors as he has displayed above. I also tried the
-vm options, but it gave me the same errors. I am running on a Compaq
Armada M700, P3. Did anybody get this working?

Thanks
