I have a small Trouble OPENING Eclipse

When I try to open Eclipse, following is the error:

!SESSION Thu Jun 14 19:56:07 EDT 2007

You should probably go to eclipse.org and ask there, assuming they have forums.

This site is about Java generally and you're asking about a specific application. People here may be familiar with the problem you're having, but the odds are much better that the people at eclipse.org will know about it.

Only idea I have is reinstalling Eclipse. It's a pain but that would fix your problem. Just make sure you make a backup of all your stuff before removing eclipse. I had a problem with that once.

may be JRE issue, re-install jre may fix it.

I don't know how you're 'installing' Eclipse since I got the Windows version as a zipped file which I simply unzipped and that was it.

I had this same problem and the cause seems to be the length of the path ( > 256 ). Try putting your Eclipse directory in the root of your drive or only one level down, for example: C:\eclipse or C:\IDEs\eclipse. This solved my problem.

Note: It's not the path to Eclipse itself but to it's plugins for example: eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.platform.source.win32.win32.x86_3.2.2.r322_v20070119-RQghndJN8IM0MsK. Now that would certainly go over the 256 char limit!

Hope this helps. ( And don't forget the dukes if it does! :D)
