Eclipse will not start [message #1237558]

Hi, tried everything I could think of.

I am running on Ubuntu 13.04 on a System 76 computer.

When I type "java -version" on com line I get:

java version "1.7.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)

Everything below openFile in eclipse.ini reads:

openFile
-vm
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/bin/java
--launcher.appendVmargs
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m

I unzipped and moved this tar to /opt directory:

eclipse-standard-kepler-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz

In /usr/share/applications/ I copied this to eclipse.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Eclispe
Type=Application
Exec=/opt/eclipse/eclipse
Terminal=false
Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm
Comment=Integrated Development Environment
NoDisplay=false
Categories=Development;IDE
Name[en]=eclipse.desktop

I do have an eclipse icon on the launch bar but clicking it or double clicking application in the file viewer produces no apparent result. Thanx in advance for any help.

tried executing eclipse from the command line. It says:

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: You have loaded library /opt/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_1.1.200.v20130807-1835/eclipse_1506.so which might have disabled stack guard. The VM will try to fix the stack guard now.
It's highly recommended that you fix the library with 'execstack -c <libfile>', or link it with '-z noexecstack'.
Eclipse:
JVM terminated. Exit code=1

Now, what's that supposed to mean?

Make sure that you aren't trying to run a 32 bit version of Eclipse on a
64 bit VM.
