Re: AW: [jdt-ui-dev] getting eclipse to run

[Kai-Uwe Maetzel <maetzel@xxxxxxx>]

I haven't followed the thread carefully, but have you copied
the install dir to your workspace dir?

Assuming your workspace is d:\workspaces\java\plugins
than you should copy the distribution's install dir to
d:\workspaces\java. Please note also, that your workspace
must be called "...\plugins".
