Changing Eclipse JVM
Sometimes Eclipse Ganymede will not run if it is unable to find a jdk 1.5 or greater.
Sometimes Eclipse Ganymede hangs abruptly if you delete the jdk it was using and if you have set only a JDK 1.4 on your path (Eclipse needs a jdk 1.5 or greater...).
The solution is firing a command line and typing something like
./eclipse -vm c:/Programmi/Java/jdk1.6.0_13/bin

If available under the eclipse/jre directory, the Eclipse JRE will be used; otherwise the launcher will consult the system path variable. Eclipse will NOT consult the JAVA_HOME environment variable.To explicitly specify a JVM of your choice, you can use the -vm command line argument:
eclipse -vm c:\jre\bin\javaw.exe ''start Java by executing the specified java executable
eclipse -vm c:\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll ''start Java by loading the jvm in the eclipse process
eclipse -vm c:\jre\bin ''look for Java in the jre/bin directory
See the launcher page for more details on specifying a JVM.
