I went through all the transactions of the posting. I tried to install
the SDK, it gave me a bunch of errors in the .log file. wanted to
start with a smaller footprint. So i started with RCP version of
eclipse.

here is the log file with the error.

*********************
my .ini file - as per the request in the posting above:

MADE 2 CHANGES: in osgi.splashPath and eclipse.product variables in
the following file:

# Eclipse runtime configuration file
# This file contains a number of key/value pairs that are merged into
the
# System properties on system startup. The values control the way the
# runtime is structured and runs.

# Note: Only platform:/base/ and file: URLs are supported. In
general the
# URLs given may include a version number (e.g., .../location_1.2.3).
# If a version is not specified, the system binds
# to the location which matches exactly or to the versioned location
with the
# latest version number. If a version number is given then only exact
matches
# are considered.

# The URL for the runtime entry point. The default value is
# platform:/base/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi
#osgi.framework=platform:/base/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi

# The classpath for the framework found at the osgi.framework
location. This
# comma-separated list contains either URLs or simple element names.
Simple
# names are assumed to be relative to the framework's install
directory.
# Typically this value need not be set as it is initialized by the
framework itself.
# Version match searching is not done for URLs listed here.
#osgi.frameworkClassPath =

# The comma-separated list of locations to search for the splash
screen file (splash.bmp).
# For each list element a subdirectory structure based on the pattern
nl/<locale> is searched.
# The system binds to the first matching file. There is no default
value.
#osgi.splashPath=
osgi.splashPath=platform:/base/plugins/org.eclipse.platform

# The location of the splash screen file. If this value is set at
system startup it is used
# in favour of the osgi.splashPath searching outlined above. If the
value is not set
# the searching is done and this key is bound to the result of the
search.
#osgi.splashLocation =

# The comma-separated list of bundles which are automatically
installed and optionally started
# once the system is up and running. Each entry if of the form
# <URL | simple bundle location>[@ [<startlevel>] [":start"]]
# If the startlevel is omitted then the framework will use the default
start level for the bundle.
# If the "start" tag is added then the bundle will be marked as
started after being installed.
# Simple bundle locations are interepreted as relative to the
framework's parent directory.
# The startlevel indicates the OSGi start level at which the bundle
should run.
# If this value is not set, the system computes an appropriate
default.
osgi.bundles=org.eclipse.core.runtime@2:start

# The product to run. A given Eclipse configuration may contain many
products.
# The product identified will supply the branding (window icons, title
bar text) etc
# as well as define the default application to run.
#eclipse.product=

eclipse.product=org.eclipse.platform.ide

# The application to run. The value specified here is the id of the
application extension
# the runtime will find, instantiate and execute once the system is
up. Note that typically
# the identified eclipse.product defines the default application to
run.
#eclipse.application=

# The build identifier
eclipse.buildId=M200409081421

# End of file marker - must be here
eof=eof
