Hi Guys!
I'm starting to use eclipse but I can't run it. When I click eclipse.exe the following message appears:
JVM terminated. Exit code=2
C:\Winnt\system32\javaw.exe
-cp C:\eclipse\startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.
main
-os win32
-ws win32
-arch x86
-showsplash c:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -showsplash 600
Thanks in advance.

Is C:\Winnt\system32\javaw.exe perhaps Microsoft's JVM? I think you should set JAVA_PATH to point at a "real" JDK.
