[Probably solved] Running client in eclipse does not work.

[Teh_Sauce_Guy]

Okay, so, after spending an arduously long time downloading forge/gradle, and then discovering that the package was not working, and the resolving that issue thanks to http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,14048.0.html, I have come upon another error:

 

 

[21:26:22] [main/ERROR]: The binary patch set is missing. Either you are in a development environment, or things are not going to work!

[21:26:22] [main/ERROR]: The minecraft jar file:/C:/Users/David/.gradle/caches/minecraft/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.7.2-10.12.1.1110/forgeBin-1.7.2-10.12.1.1110.jar!/net/minecraft/client/ClientBrandRetriever.class appears to be corrupt! There has been CRITICAL TAMPERING WITH MINECRAFT, it is highly unlikely minecraft will work! STOP NOW, get a clean copy and try again!

[21:26:22] [main/ERROR]: For your safety, FML will not launch minecraft. You will need to fetch a clean version of the minecraft jar file

[21:26:22] [main/ERROR]: Technical information: The class net.minecraft.client.ClientBrandRetriever should have been associated with the minecraft jar file, and should have returned us a valid, intact minecraft jar location. This did not work. Either you have modified the minecraft jar file (if so run the forge installer again), or you are using a base editing jar that is changing this class (and likely others too). If you REALLY want to run minecraft in this configuration, add the flag -Dfml.ignoreInvalidMinecraftCertificates=true to the 'JVM settings' in your launcher profile.

 

 

If I add the dfml flag the JVM arguments (-Dfml.ignoreInvalidMinecraftCertificates=true) I get:

I... What. I've literally linked to that thread in the OP, I've followed that tutorial to the letter. My forge crashes. A nice tl;dr:

 

"[LOL ERROR] What's this? You've told me to ignore this in the VM parameters? LOL NOPE ERROR ERROR ERROR YOU'VE GOT AN INVALID JAR"

Cmd + F

 

No results

(edit: Yes, I did expand the spoilers)

 

 

 

Anyway, I resolved this issue by neglecting windows and moving to an inferior OS, mac, and tomorrow when I get time, I'll test it on my windows machine again, and thank you if it works.
