Re: FATAL ERROR in native method when trying to use JRE 1.3.1

In the launch dialog for the "Java Home" value, make sure there is no 
extra "\jre" on the end. It may look like c:\jdk1.3.1_15\jre, in which 
case you should change it to c:\jdk1.3.1_15 and then everything will be 
fine.

Note that the old JREs do not support debugging (or rather, every time I 
have tried it crashed as you described) -- you must use the JDK for 
debugging. You can always go to production on a JRE if you like, but 
development must be done with the JDK. I believe the newer versions (1.4 
and above) do not have these problems.
