The eclipse executable must be told where to find its support files,
libraries, etc.  This location is the directory where you have built
or installed ECLiPSe.  There are 3 alternative ways to do this:

1. on Windows, set the registry entry Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IC-Parc\Eclipse\7.0

2. set and export the environment variable ECLIPSEDIR

3. via the -D command line option

As you are on Windows, the path name must be given in Windows
syntax, even when you are running from cygwin.


Cheers,
