I have downloaded from the BIRT project site:
birt-report-designer-all-in-one-linux-gtk-3_7_2.tar.gz
and unpacked it in ~/DevSW/BIRTReportWriter/ and I now have an eclipse directory under this directory. If I try running the eclipse executable from there I get the following output in what appears to be the 'splash' screen.

JVM terminated. Exit code=13
/usr/bin/java
-Xms40m
-Xmx384m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-jar /home/purvez/DevSW/BIRTReportWriter/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
-os linux
-ws gtk
-arch x86
-showsplash
-launcher /home/purvez/DevSW/BIRTReportWriter/eclipse/eclipse
-name Eclipse
--launcher.library /home/purvez/DevSW/BIRTReportWriter/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_1.1.100.v20110505/eclipse_1407.so
-startup /home/purvez/DevSW/BIRTReportWriter/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
--launcher.overrideVmargs
-exitdata 17f802a
-vm /usr/bin/java
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx384m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-jar /home/purvez/DevSW/BIRTReportWriter/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar

I thought it might be jvm related so I tried running it from the command line in the installed directory as:

./eclipse -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java

This provided another splash type screen with the following output:

JVM terminated. Exit code=13
/usr/bin/java
-Xms40m

-XX:MaxPermSize=256m

-jar /home/purvez/DevSW/BIRTReportWriter/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar

In addition I got the following in the command screen:

Unfortunately I'm not knowledgeable enough to understand these messages. Please can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

OK looking through the logs it would appear that the version of eclipse bundled in the BIRT package is 32bit and the jre is 64bit. Looking at the Eclipse download page at www.eclipse.org/downloads/ there are loads of different Packages all with 64bit versions EXCEPT none of them mention BIRT. Please can someone tell me which Package I should download to be compatible with BIRT.

Thanks

There's a separate Eclipse forum dedicated to BIRT.
