Description Walter Jaburek CLA 2004-02-02 03:41:40 EST
When starting Eclipse under Redhat 9 with Sun J2SDK 1.4.2_03 the starte program
./eclipse seems to produce a call to the java-environment wirh too many
arguments (perhaps not taking into account the difference between windows and
unix - latter gives the name of the procedure called, too). The messages in the
java-webstart-window exception window is:

TooManyArgumentsException[ Zu viele Argumente angegeben: {-cp, /tmp/javawH8XtI1,
org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main, -os, linux, -ws, gtk, -arch, x86, -showsplash,
"/usr/eclipse/eclipse -showsplash 600" }]
	at com.sun.javaws.Main.main(Main.java:161)

The Eclipse native launcher needs a regular Java runtime executable. How are you
starting Eclipse (command-line options)?
