I want to use eclipse on WinXP but it's saying that the JVM needs to be updated. There are several copies on the machine so how do I figure out which one eclipse is trying to use and how do I get it to update. All the windows updates are done (except for IE7) so it's nothing as easy as that! Any ideas?
Thanks Austars, I've got lib bin\client c:\oracle\ora92\jdk\include c:\oracle\ora92\jdk\jre\lib c:\program files\Oracle\jre\1.3.1\lib c:\program files\Java\jre1.5.0_09\...
it SHOULD be using the last one in your list, as that's up to date. (and windows updates won't give you JVM anymore, windows is no longer packaged with java... which is rather unfortunate for anyone that runs java apps on their sites)
Should be but it appears to be hitting the Oracle version (courtesy of Toad) because it's telling me to upgrade...
Well, I'm running BlueJ for a Computer Science class, and on the first time running it it asked for the location of the JVM and I gave it to it, also in the start menu under BlueJ it has an option for finding the JVM. Is there anyway you can skip selecting the JVM for now?
Even BlueJ wouldn't start at first but their help pages were excellent and I'm up and running. I also set JAVA_HOME using instructions from javanut.com and that helped BlueJ but not eclipse. BlueJ is very primitive but it seems to be working and, right now, that's what matters! Thanks Austars!!!
