I am new to eclipse, I installed the latest version, then edited the .ini file to my javaw.exe file path, after i got the error message.
Now it doesn't even show an error message, it just gives me the busy cursor for a minute then nothing happens. What should i try?
Here is how my .ini file looks like:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.0.v20100503
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
-vm
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin\javaw.exe
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m


Reproducible: Always

You have a 64-bit Eclipse...

> C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin\javaw.exe

...yet you seem to be pointing it at a 32-bit JRE.
