SO: Windows 7

I have a problem with Eclipse IDE. After downloading and installing Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers (version 2023-12), when I finish installing it I can open it normally, but when I try to open it from the shortcut that the installation created on my desktop, it doesn't open, it doesn't even show an error message. I have JDK 17 downloaded and installed.

Can you try to run it from the (cmd) command line

eclipse-exe -consoleLog

to see what error messages it gives?

Of course you must run in the folder where the eclipse.exe is located, or run it using the absolute path where it is located in the file system, i.e., the path in the shortcut.

It doesn't show anything when I execute the command, just open a little cmd window (shown in cmd eclipse2.png) and no more.

Nothing is printed to the console and the process just exists silently?

Maybe try eclipsec.exe -consoleLog

D:\Users\merks\birt-master\eclipse>eclipsec.exe -consoleLog
eclipsec.exe -consoleLog
WARNING: Using incubator modules: jdk.incubator.foreign, jdk.incubator.vector
M▒rz 10, 2024 5:53:23 PM org.apache.aries.spifly.BaseActivator log
INFO: Registered provider org.slf4j.simple.SimpleServiceProvider of service org.slf4j.spi.SLF4JServiceProvider in bundle slf4j.simple

Or try eclipsec.exe -consoleLog 1> log1 2> log2 and see what's in those two log files after?

You can also download and unzip a package:

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/

But I really wonder what's wrong with your installation.
