Eclipse 3.3

When you unzip the Eclipse SDK, it creates a base install directory called eclipse. The directory layout looks something like this:

   eclipse/
     features/   ''the directory containing Eclipse features''
     plugins/   ''the directory containing Eclipse plugins''
     eclipse.exe  ''platform executable''
     eclipse.ini
     eclipsec.exe              ''(windows only) console executable''
     epl-v10.html  ''the EPL license''
     eclipse.ini 
     jre/   ''the JRE to run Eclipse with''
     notice.html 
     readme 

You can start Eclipse by running eclipse.exe on Windows or eclipse on other platforms. This small launcher essentially finds and loads the JVM that is on your PATH. On Windows, the eclipsec.exe console executable can be used for improved command line behaviour.

Alternatively, you can launch Eclipse by directly invoking the JVM as follows:

   java -jar eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.0.v20070606.jar

NOTE: The version of org.eclipse.equinox.launcher in the above command must match the version actually shipped with Eclipse. For more details on launching Eclipse using Java (not eclipse.exe) with the 3.3 launcher, see Starting Eclipse Commandline With Equinox Launcher.
