Hi,

I was happily using eclipse until I ran the mac os updater this morning. Now when I try starting eclipse, it won't start. See the error log below.

I'm guessing this is related to a java version problem? I had previously pointed all my system java versions to 1.5, before I ran the mac os x upgrade.

TIA,

JV

Java 6 on Mac is 64-bit. Hence you might have to use the appropriate 64-bit eclipse

Thanks, that is what I am trying to use now. When my old version of eclipse didn't work, I installed the 64 bit one.

Also, with the previous version of eclipse 32 bit, i used to have my Java 1.6 installation fixed so that 1.6 pointed to 1.5 and only 1.5 was ever used. I am afraid somewhere eclipse thinks it is using 1.5. However, now that I have done the macosx and java 1.6 upgrade, java 1.5 is gone again.

/system/library/frameworks/JavaVM looks like this:

Jun 22 10:34 1.3 -> 1.3.1
Jul 20 2009 1.3.1
Jun 22 10:34 1.4 -> CurrentJDK
Jun 22 10:34 1.4.2 -> CurrentJDK
Jun 22 10:34 1.5 -> CurrentJDK
Jun 22 10:34 1.5.0 -> CurrentJDK
Jun 22 10:34 1.6 -> 1.6.0
Mar 10 22:57 1.6.0
Jun 22 10:35 A
Jun 22 10:35 Current -> A
Jun 22 10:34 CurrentJDK -> 1.6

I am not sure if I should try moving everything back to 1.5 or try to fix eclipse so that it uses 1.6? What do I fix?

Thanks-

You don't have to build eclipse from the source code! You could specify the jvm your eclipse needs to use -- Look at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini#Mac_OS_X_Example
