It's trying to use the Microsoft java VM. Install Sun's VM
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html ) (or IBM's). If you still get
this error, launch eclipse using a shortcut with a target like
"C:\Program Files\eclipse\eclipse.exe" -vm "C:\Program
Files\JavaSoft\j2sdk1.4.1_02\jre\bin\javaw.exe"
so it knows which VM to use.
