I broke Eclipse... :-(

Today I thought I'd upgrade my IBM Java installations to the latest versions.  I had Java 5, 6 and 7 installed, both 32-bit and 64-bit on my 64-bit Windows 7 system.  The IBM installers insist on removing any existing version and then you have to run it again to install the latest.  Something Bad happened with the Java 5 uninstallation and any uninstallation attempt errors with "1628: Failed to complete installation."

With this condition, and both 32-bit and 64-bit Java 6 and Java 7 installed (and 64-bit Java 7 the default), my Eclipse Juno fails to load with:



Help!

Hi Chris

Are you on Eclipse Juno 4.2? What version of RTC is being used? This doesn't look a supported/tested version of Eclipse IDE from IBM, assuming you are on 4.0.1:

I have two separate Eclipse Juno installations -- one is just Eclipse Juno, the other is the Eclipse Juno Java EE in which I installed RTC 4.0.1.  The both fail to start now.  Screen capture of the error is attached.

I have seen this and in my case it was the case of 32 bit Java and 64 bit Eclipse. I had to use either 32 bit Java and 32 bit Eclipse or 64 bit Java and 64 bit Eclipse

Thank you, Karthik. I can see that, but I don't think it was my case.  However, I removed all the Java installations (again) and just reinstalled Java 7 and now Eclipse starts for me.
