Anyone have problems installing or running the Force IDE on windows XP?

After installing i get errors:

 

JVM terminated exit code= -1

-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

-Xms256m

-Xmx1024m

 

etc...

 

Any ideas?

Hello.   I'm using Eclipse 3.3.2 on Windows XP.  One of my sandbox projects currently has a "refresh error" on package.xml.  It was working fine yesterday.  This has happened before occasionally with other projects.

 

Is there a way to fix this without having delete the entire project and recreate it?

 

Thanks

David

I'm looking to find the object types of the WhatId/WhoId fields of the Task and Event objects, so I can query these objects and get more information about them and perform certain automated tasks based on the type.

I found this tech article, which uses the first 3 digits as a marker, but the article also says that this may change at any time:

Is there a better way of getting the object types of WhatId/WhoId fields or querying them based on Id only (no type)?

Thanks!
