Please help! I kept getting the following error when launching Eclipse v2.1:
JVM terminated. Exit code=2
C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe
-cp D:\eclipse\startup.jar org.eclipse.launcher.Main
-os win32
-ws win32
-arch x86
-showsplash D:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -showsplash 600
I have J2SDK, v1.3.1_6 installed as specified by the read me file. I am clueless on what to do next. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure that you're running the JVM you think you're running? The "C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe" looks suspicious. Maybe you should explicitly specify the JVM with the -vm command line option? For example, "eclipse.exe -vm c:\sdk1.4.1\jre\bin\javaw.exe".

I'm having the exact same problem on startup. I tried pointing -vm to a different jdk, set and reset JAVA_HOME and JAVA_PATH
