Description Zongheng Mising name

Build Identifier: Helios

After a new Sun Java JDK install, Helios fails to start with the error message in attachment. Basically, it's broken.

I don't know if this is a problem with Java install as I had to modify manually some environment variables not modified by the install. This raised more errors than this last one at startup.

CLASSPATH : C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\jre\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\client;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\jre\bin\client;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\jre\bin\client

JAVA_HOME :C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_25;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\jre\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\jre\bin

Path = %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\jre\bin


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. uninstall any JRE or JDK
2. strip off java environment variables
3. install last version 1.6.025 of JDK
4. start eclipse

You probably downloaded a 64-bit version of Eclipse. Make sure you have the 32 bit version.

Yes, you have the 64 bit version:

--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.2.R36x_v20101222

Note: x86_64

Please note Eclipse was working before this last Java update. Several Java updates took place before and none caused this problem.
