Hello,

I am a newbie who has practised j2ee development with netbeans. I've been wanting to try out eclipse but have some troubles. Initially, Eclipse worked ok but I had trouble with importing classes like HttpServlet so I couldn't run anything. After I installed some web servers and tools, suddenly Eclipse stopped booting and exits with OutOfMemory error messages. I have pasted the latest log message here. I have around 2 GB of RAM and 85GB free space in my 'C:' drive (windows XP). Please help me to successfully get cracking with Eclipse. Thank you very much.

Also, I have tried the following invocations but they didn't help much:
