Hi! Thx to all who tried to help me but I found my very VERY stupid mistake.
As I said, I tried with every VM, especially the JDK5. Chaned every path and HOME variable etc. pp. BUT what I did not think of was that I had hardcoded the -vm in the eclipse.ini (to fix an m2eclipse error). And that pointed to JDK6. I'm so sorry I didn't remember that. After changing to JDK5 the geronimo-web finally got created. Again my appreciation for the help.
