Question

I am not sure what is missing here. I have installed the java and this is how it looks
C:\Program Files\Java
under that folder I have two folders one is jre and one is jdk1.6.0_30

Now here is what my classpath and also java home looks like

 C:\Perl64\site\bin;C:\Perl64\bin;C:\Perl\site\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C:\Windows\system3
 2;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
 \;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Application Virtualization Client;C:\Program
 Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\maven\3.0\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem
 \:C:\Users\sgudla\Desktop\jad158g.win;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\
**;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_30\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_30\jre\bin**

and the java home looks like the following
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_30

and the class path looks like the following

C:\>echo %CLASSPATH%
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\lib\ext\QTJava.zip**;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6
.0_30\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_30\lib**

When I run java in my terminal it gives me the following error

C:\>java
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object

But when I do javac it works fine. All it has to get is the java.exe file and also javac.exe in the path. I have pointed to jdk bin where the java.exe is. I’m not sure what I am missing here. Can some one help me out on this?

Thanks a lot for the answers ..I have just deleted the java.exe file from c:\system\windows 32
that solved the whole issue not sure what was that for though..
Now i am trying to open my eclipse

I am trying to open Eclipse here is what my eclipse.inf file looks like

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.0.v20100503
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m 

Now when i open my eclipse i get the following error

Not sure again why it is failing..
Any one has any idea..
Thanks,
Swati
