I like your perseverence, don't give up, you are nearly there! :-) But 
please, ask your questions on the mailing list. (and I am not a 
professor...)

The first error (...catalogue file not found) is not a problem, because 
that file is for debug information only.

The second (MbrolaJNI library not found) is the cause of the failure.

This file is located in MARY_BASE/lib/windows; if you look at the normal 
server startup script MARY_BASE/bin/maryserver.bat, you will see that 
this directory is added to the PATH before the java server is started:

set PATH=%MARY_BASE%\lib\windows;%PATH%

The Readme.usingEclipse.txt file says:

-----------
...
4. Define a number of environment variables.
...
  b) Under Windows, right click "My computer"->"Properties"->"Advanced"->
     "Environment variables...".
     Under "user variables", add new variables using the "New..." button:
        MARY_BASE "c:\Program Files\MARY TTS"
        SHPROT_BASE "c:\Program Files\MARY TTS\lib\modules\shprot"
     Under "system variables", "Edit..." the variable "Path". To the 
existing
     content of the Path variable, append the following:
        ;c:\Program Files\MARY TTS\bin;c:\Program Files\MARY TTS\lib\windows
...
---------

Did you do that? Did you adapt the paths to your install location 
(c:\Programmi\MARYTTS)?

You mean with space? Yes, it does, but you have to put quotation marks 
around the arguments -- as in:

  -Dmary.base="d:\Program Files\MARY TTS" 
-Djava.endorsed.dirs="d:\Program Files\MARY TTS"\lib\endorsed

, which works fine for me.

Are you sure you want to run the client from Eclipse? That is needed 
only if you want to modify the client. Otherwise, you can use the 
standard client also when the server is running from Eclipse.

But if you really want to run the client from eclipse, that's easy -- 
Main Class de.dfki.lt.mary.client.MaryGUIClient, only VM argument 
required is -Dserver.host=localhost.

Cheers,

Marc
