I have a work around for this but it is ugly. I started with this config: -showsplash org.eclipse.platform --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256M -framework plugins\org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.0.v20080605-1900.jar -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5 -Xms512m -Xmx1024m
M2eclipse still complained about a JRE 1.6 path, so I changed to jdk1.5 in eclipse.ini as a test. Still the same result. I then changed to use jdk1.5 but with java.exe instead of javaw.exe. I noticed that eclipse then started with a command window - so it was using the java.exe in eclipse.ini. I also checked the "about eclipse platform"->configuration details and it all indicated jdk1.5. Yet m2eclipse STILL complained about a JDK1.6 path. Finally I had a look in window->preferences->installed JREs. I had the jdk1.6 and jre1.6. Only jdk1.6 was ticked. I removed jre1.6 even though it wasn't ticked and now it works! So is this a problem with the m2eclipse plugin rather than eclipse?

Also note that -vmargs should be the last argument in eclipse.ini and in the command line (e.g. order is significant). regards, Eugene Andrew Zahra wrote: > > I have this problem as described in the project FAQ: > > http://docs.codehaus.org/display/M2ECLIPSE/Project+FAQ#ProjectFAQ-UnabletolocatetheJavacCompilerError > > The only solution that works for me is using the eclipse compiler.
