After upgrading to MyEclipse 6.0, I am no longer able to run either Java apps or JUnit tests for certain projects.

The specific project experiencing these issues is configured as a MyEclipse Web project. When trying to launch either a Junit test or application, I get the following error in the dialog:

Cannot run program "C:\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin\javaw.exe" (in directory C:\path\to\the\project\home\directory): CreateProcess error=87, the parameter is incorrect

I am able to run the same app and Junit test from the command-line, so this makes me think there is an issue with the IDE, especially since I did not experience this with MyEclipse 5.5/Eclipse 3.2.

Running Windows XP SP2 on a dual-core AMD, if that matters.

I am not sure if the issue is with MyEclipse or Eclipse itself, but I thought I'd post here as a starting point.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Michael

Can you go to MyEclipise > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

Your installation looks good. Have you used the All in One installer to setup MyEclipse ? Can you switch to a brand new workspace, create a new project and try running JUnit test cases again. Do they work ?

Nipun,

This did not help. Any other ideas?

Hi, Not sure this is the best place but I am getting this error: com.genuitec.myeclipse.product.ide could not be found
When I start myeclispe after trying to install both:
+ http://columns4eclipse.sourceforge.net/
+ http://eclipseexeditor.sourceforge.net/

These are two of my favorite plugins and I use them all the time. I have sense removed them from the plug-in's dir but the problem persists. Please Help.

Ed
There is more log I can add but didn;t want to blot this to much:

Hey, edmwagner, no pun intended, but why not post your issue as a separate topic instead of eclipsing my issue?

Michael,
I think this is something simple. It looks like in addition to doing anew install of MyEclipse it's possible you also reinstalled Java or did something with your JDK install to cause the location of the EXE your launch configs were using to move... so now when they run, they are configured wrong.

A few things to check:

1. Window > Prefs > Java > Installed JREs. Make sure the JREs listed there are all valid.

2. Under your run configuraitons (Run > Open Run Dialog) make sure the settings under JRE for example are right. Specifically for your JUnit test cases you are trying to run.

3. For the Ant tasks that fail, be sure to go to Run > External Tools > Open External Tools Dialog, and check there too. Make sure all the paths are right.

edmwagner,
It looks like your install might have gotten corrupted. Try and startup MyEclipse/Eclipse if you can at all, and go to Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuraiton, look for plugin configuration errors and report them ehre if you see any.

Additionally, you can erase your log file, and restart MyEclipse and post all the entries that get logged on startup here. it's a good way to trim it back and just allow us to focus on what's wrong.

Riyad,

Unforunately, ths problem appears to be something more subtle. The settings I've checked and they are all correct. In fact, as I mentioned in the original post, the error only seems to occur for certain projects. I am able to run tests in other projects.

I've also checked the settings in the Run... dialog for the problem project, and the same JDK is being specified as for the projects that work (in fact, I only have one JDK configured in Eclipse).

What else can I try? Would it be helpful to send the .myeclipse project configuration file?

Michael

Michael,
If you go to Run > Open Run Dialog, then erase all the JUnit run configurations you have... then try and re-run your JUnit tests, it will cause the run configurations to be re-created, and might get out any old settings that were wrong.

I seem to have the same crazy problem, both with Eclipse 3.4 and with Eclipse 3.3.

I have two projects on which I have been working on Linux with Eclipse 3.3 for
one year now. I have just moved to WindowXP on a friend's computer and they
both won't start with a similar error:

Exception occurred executing command line.
Cannot run program "C:\jdk1.6.0_07\bin\javaw.exe" (in directory "C:\giorgio\workspace\lic-gen"): CreateProcess error=87, The parameter is incorrect

I have checked the settings of the Java virtual machine and of the run
configuration: everything seems to be OK.
Interestingly, I have another project in the same workspace,
which starts without any problems.
Also, running the project from Eclipse but with Ant works. Maybe
the command line generated by Eclipse is too long for Windows, but
not for Linux?

Thank you in advance for any useful information
Giorgio

Giorgio,
Are you working with plain Eclipse or MyEclipse?

Hi Giorgio/Michael
I am also having the same problem as you mentioned with my Eclipse.

Exception occurred executing command line.
Cannot run program "C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin\javaw.exe" (in directory "C:\Rahul\Project"): CreateProcess error=87, The parameter is incorrect

Did you all get any solution for this one?

Thanks
Rahul
