Description Michael R. Head CLA 2002-06-04 00:33:59 EDT 
With the new F2 build, I have been unable to start up eclipse due to the error
message stated in the summary (Please use a newer VM. Eclipse requires at least
1.3.1). F1 works with the same JAVA_HOME and PATH set. 

I am using debian sid/unstable with the Blackdown JDK debs of J2SDK1.3.1 (from
http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian/dists/woody/non-free/binary-i386/
). 

JAVA_HOME is set (appropriately) to /usr/lib/j2sdk1.3
PATH is set to $JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

"java -version" reports:
java version "1.3.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.3.1-FCS)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.3.1-FCS, mixed mode)

This setup runs eclipse F1 just fine, so F2's JVM detection algorithm appears to
be slightly broken.

If I use Sun's J2SDK1.4.0 (installed to /usr/local) with JAVA_HOME and PATH set
properly, eclipse runs just fine, but it would be nice to be able to simply use
blackdown's debian packages with eclipse.

Problems when checking the VM version. 
Please see bug 9027.
