Ha. I already had one.
It's a good thing I write FAQs, because when i get the error again and forget I wrote one, I can read it myself.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Parallel_Tools_Platform_FAQ#Q:_What_do_I_do_when_i_get_.22Failed_to_Create_the_Java_Virtual_Machine.22_launching_on_win32.3F
I added some info about the win32 total memory limitation.
See if you agree with that, wordsmith it if you don't.

Hi,

I forgot to mention. I didn't test it on a win32 machine. I tested the 32-bit EPP (and also 64-bit EPP) on a 64bit windows with both 32bit and 64bit java installed.

Thanks Roland.  I had trouble with it on an old machine and couldn't get ANY of the values to work, so chalked it up to the machine being very very old.
We've had troubles with those values on various machines.
Dave W, can you test it on the machine that didn't work for the other values for you?
Can anyone else test it on a win32 machine?

Good catch Roland.
I also need to add an item to the FAQ to remind us that's what that error message means.

Hi,

the 32bit Windows EPP is broken. Eclipse doesn't start at all with
"Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine". The eclipse.ini contains:
-Xms512m
-Xmx2048m

But that is not OK because a 32bit windows app only can have 2GB
total. Changing it to:
-Xms512m
-Xmx1536m
fixes it.

John just pointed out to me, that this is same problem as we had with
SR2. Given that no one has noticed that it seems that no one has done
any testing on Win 32bit.
