Note to self when configuring the “-vm” option in eclipse.ini… Place the path to your jdk on a new line i.e.
...
-vm
C:\programs\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin
...
and not:
...
-vm C:\programs\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin
...
Also to see what configuration options stuck goto menu item: Help -> About Eclipse Platform, then click Configuration Details button.
