[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: starting eclipse 
Hey guys,

Still doesnt work. Its still trying to look for c:\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe.

It should be looking for C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\jre\bin\javaw.exe. Ive tried setting a system variable JAVA_HOME to C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\jre\bin\javaw.exe and ive tried putting an eclipse.ini file next to exclipse.exe and putting
JAVA_HOME C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\jre\bin\javaw.exe on the first line.

Any ideas?

Relying on JAVA_HOME is not a good idea. Just search this newsgroup for
JAVA_HOME.
Namely, there are plenty products that change it to old VMs without you
knowing.

For 3.1M5, you can place a file next to eclipse.exe, and call it eclipse.ini
In it, add your startup commands, one per line. No shortcuts necessary in
that case.
