What kind of Java VM do you have installed? If it's not the official Sun virtual machine, Eclipse can give you headaches. I would download the latest SDK from here:

Java Technology

Extract it, rename the directory to "jvm" and move it into your Eclipse directory. Then try again. That usually does the trick for me.

done the trick didn't install the 64 bit JVM so it cudn't execute the 64-bit calls did the trick had a hunch about the JVM thanks m8,btw there's an IDE for eclipse on the official site is it necessary coz u do get a GUI with a ./eclipse

So... did it work or not?

I don't know what "IDE for eclipse" you're talking about. Could you show me a link? Eclipse *is* an IDE, so an IDE for an IDE would be redundant.

Yeah, there used to be just one download that was several hundred megabytes. Now they've separated the IDE from all the extra tools that used to come bundled with it and allowed you to download just that. Apparently they're tools I never used because I recently just download the IDE, and I've had no issues developing. I can see why you'd be confused.
