Even after following the instructions shown at the top of this forum I cannot get Luna to run under Wheezy.
I have installed Java in /opt/jdk1.8.0_31
I have installed Luna in /opt/eclipse44/
My eclipse.ini is attached

The error messages I get on the console are shown in lunastart.txt

Could someone tell me what I am missing?
Thanks

And how do you fare if you install Eclipse in a more accessible location
like /home/klaus/dev/eclipse?

Your copy of Eclipse comes from eclipse.org, right? Not from a general,
Debian (Aptitude) source?

My Eclipse Luna was downloaded from eclipse.org.

I installed it at the specified location as my Eclipse Kepler sits right next to it (in the directory /opt/eclipse43 ) and works perfectly.

Hi,

the startup problem is a GTK problem.

As suggested in a comment to a bug (for some uncomprehensible reason I cannot add the URL) an environment variable SWT_GTK has to be set to 0.
With that set accordingly Luna starts, recognizes the incompatibility of the workspaces of previous versions and it recognizes my java1.8.

At some location it was suggested to add the lines
--launcher.GTK-version
2
to eclipse.ini (somewhere in the middle) but that did not help me.

Attached is the small bash script lunastart.sh that sets the environment variable and starts Luna.
During the startup a lot of eclipse messages (warnings) are issued (and I will try to determine why they are issued) but the main thing is it WORKS.
