Compile error

[Patrick Vanhoof]

Hi,

I am starting to use Eclipse as development environment for Java. When I
compile a small simple Java program I get the error below. Anyone knows what
is wrong? All help very much appreciated.

Error occurred during initialization of VM

java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object

Since this is a base java class, it looks like the environment is missing
the classpath completely.
Check which JDK is on your system. I'm not sure if Eclipse comes with one,
or if you have to use a seperate one with it, which means you may have to
set Eclipse up to use it.

I've never used Eclipse before, still hung up on Visual Café (4.0).

Cheers.

I had to import the rt.jar (it's in <JDK path>/jre/lib) library manually
to get rid of that error.

Make sure that you have an SDK installed, and check that your project
contains that SDK as a library.

To make sure your project is set up correctly do the following .....

Go to your Project Properties (Right-click> Properties) go to the libraries
tab, click Add Library, select JRE system library, then click next. This
should give you a drop down of your systems JRE's...if so select it and
click finish...if not, click new, and fill in the deatils for your system
JRE. This should sort out your problems for you.
