<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Hello,</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>I'm quite new to JBoss and jBPM and indeed java development, so I turned to the Community documentation to get a feel for what all this is and how it works.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>So I ended up here:</p><p><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.3/userguide/ch.installer.html">http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.3/userguide/ch.installer.html</a></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>and decided to follow these steps to install everything and do the demo.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Clearly a lot of effort has been put into making this a newbie friendly experience, and I do appreciate that.</p><p>However, it did not work for me. More specific: Eclipse would not start.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>After a lot of frustrating searches on the internet, I got it working by first uninstalling everything Java from my (windows 7 64bit) computer, then reinstalling 64bit Java (nope) and 32bit Java, the latter of which worked after I had pointed Eclipse to use the 32bit version of Java in eclipse.ini.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Now here is my criticism: nowhere in this article is there any mention of whether the software installed by the script is 32bit or 64bit. </p><p>My search for how to get this working would have been a lot shorter if the Prerequisites had read:</p><p><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">This script assumes you have Java JDK 1.5+ (32bit, set as JAVA_HOME), and Ant 1.7+ installed. If you don't, use the following links to download and install them:</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Also, it might be good to point people towards the eclipse.ini documentation (<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini">http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini</a>) in the FAQ at the bottom.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>For the rest: it's very good!</p></div>
