Ancient Window HLP File

I was digging around the primordial soup section of my archives and came across a program that uses the old Windows .hlp format. Thankfully Microsoft allowed me to download a reader.

Funny. I can remember building those .hlp files in RTF. *sigh* I'm so old.

Eclipse: Failed to Load the JNI Shared Library JVM.DLL

Tried to bring up Eclipse tonight and got the error "Failed to Load the JNI Shared Library C:\Windows\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll". Very strange since nothing updated in my Java client--to my knowledge.

Found the solution on StackOverflow. There was no VM path specified in Eclipse's ini file. I'm guessing somehow the default Java client got changed from the 64bit version Eclipse wants. Adding this VM path entry allowed Eclipse to launch once again:
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe
