    Hi all.
    I'm a Newbie to Eclipse trying to get my feet wet.

    I downloaded eclipse 3.0.1, set my JAVA_HOME path to C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07,
    and ran my eclipse from c:\eclipse\eclipse.exe.

    Everything is working fine for the main IDE. My problem is when I click
    on Help Contents, I get this error dialog box (after about 15 seconds
    waiting):

    JVM terminted. Exit code=-2147483645
    C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\bin\javaw.exe
    -cp C:\eclipse\startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
    -os win32
    -arch x86
    -showsplash C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -showsplash 600
    -exitdata C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -exitdata 580-28
    -vm C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\bin\javaw.exe
    -vmargs
    -cip C:\eclipse\startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main

    Any ideas?
    TIA
    mark
