Eclipse User

Please help when clicking on eclipse to open and run it. it gives me an error message [ see photo ]
I am using eclipse on a "VPS" Virtual Private Server. This vps is used for running and managing runescape private servers. Eclipse is very important in this management. Can someone help me. I am not sure how to fix this issue by myself. I will allow someone to connect through Team Viewer.

if staff or anyone is reading this please leave a comment or even email me @zofalane@yahoo.com, please i need to get this fixed.

You're using Java 9 so you have to add --add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM to the eclipse.ini as described in https://wiki.eclipse.org/Configure_Eclipse_for_Java_9#eclipse.ini_summary

Edit the file Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/eclipse.ini as shown in the wiki. The Mac makes it hard to go into an App folder with the Finder, but if I recall correctly, there's some "Show Package Contents" thing in the context menu.

The .app folder is specific to macOS versions. It's only mentioned as a way to help find the eclipse.ini file. You've already found it.

The critical parts of what is shown on the wiki page is that each argument is on its own line, and that every line after -vmargs is passed as an argument to the JVM that you specified. So you need to specify where a valid Java 8 JVM is, or point it at Java 9 and make sure --add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM is on a line, by itself, somewhere below the line with -vmargs.

Invalid lines after -vmargs will usually force the JVM to exit with an error code like -1. Save a copy of the original eclipse.ini before you start experimenting with it.

This is shown in https://wiki.eclipse.org/Configure_Eclipse_for_Java_9#eclipse.ini_summary (and it can be anywhere after the -vmargs line). Given you're already running Java 9, you don't need to do that part, but on a terminal windows you can run "which javaw" and it should tell you where that is located. I think running /usr/libexec/java_home -X tells you where all your JREs/JDKs are all located as well.

/usr/libexec/java_home is specific to macOS, though, and you're on Windows.

The thing is, you want personalized help on team viewer, and I'm sure that if we offered that free service, 1000s of people per day would happily make use it. But that wouldn't even pay for a gram of butter to put on my bread...

Your latest capture seems to indicate you're not longer using Java 9 but using some default JVM (which could be anything copied/linked) to that location. Look for folders in C:\Program Files\Java (but not C:\Program Files (x86)\Java because those are 32 bit VMs) and navigate into the latest non-Java9 one to located the javaw.exe, e.g., C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_121\bin\javaw.exe and use that as your -vm argument in your eclipse.ini. Note that if you used the installer to install your Eclipse, it gives you the choices available on your machine and lets you pick one without having to mess with the eclipse.ini manually.

The part shown at in the Configure Eclipse to run on Java 9 section, using the -vm switch, is how you point Eclipse at Java 9, or any other java.exe or javaw.exe. Alter the paths as needed for your machine, it may very well be different. As for where to add the --add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM line, it should be on a line, by itself, after the -vmargs line, but only if you are using Java 9 to run Eclipse. Or just retry this with a fresh download of Oxygen.1a on Wednesday.

The reason for this is the java version that is required for particular eclipse version is not installed or set up.

Solution : Make sure your environment variable has the java path set up correctly for the version that has been mentioned in eclipse.ini file.

In my case, eclipse.ini had below line :

-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8

Also, make sure to add below line after -vmargs in eclipse.ini file :

--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM

Hope this helps :)

FWIW:

Whatever the wiki linked to above, https://wiki.eclipse.org/Configure_Eclipse_for_Java_9#eclipse.ini_summary , contained in 2017, currently it says nothing about where to find the file "eclipse.ini". I found mine at C:\Users\DIV\eclipse\php-2019-09\eclipse\eclipse.ini
My INI file already contains "-vmargs" ... "--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM". Although it doesn't have "-vm". (Possibly because I installed only the JRE, not the JDK? I am running Eclipse PHP.)
