When I double-click on eclipse.exe, the eclipse splash screen appears for less than a second and then the jre dies with a fatal error log (attached).

Launching eclipsec.exe works fine though.

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click or invoke eclipse.exe

I think that build is Eclipse 3.6.1. Please adjust the Bugzilla Version accordingly if not. Thanks.

Yes, it is Eclipse 3.6.1.

Can you try adding the following 2 lines into your eclipse.ini file (above the -vmargs):

-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\jre\bin\javaw.exe


There is very little difference between eclipse.exe & eclipsec.exe beyond the windows linking as gui vs console so this is weird to me.

It worked. After inserting these 2 lines eclipse.exe started flawlessly.

But after reverting eclipse.ini to its previous content (i.e. without the 2 lines) eclipse.exe STILL keeps working, as if being able to run for one time "fixed" something.

That is: I'm no more able to reproduce the bug. I'm puzzled.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
