Eclipse does not start up [Linux] [message #1138746]

Hi,

my Eclipse installation crashes immediately after the start on Fedora 19.

The error log complains about a missing EclipseStarter class.

I have already tried to cleanly reinstall Eclipse as well as OpenJDK 1.7; I switched the alternatives for the Java installation and tried to run Eclipse letting -vm point to the dedicated javaws -- but all without success so far.

Maybe somebody has an idea for me?

Cheers and Thanks,
Thomas

Don't use "javaw" when something's wrong. Instead, use the "java" binary and start Eclipse with the -consoleLog switch. How was this Eclipse installed?

You had an error during extraction? Whatever that error was, it's probably the root of the problem. The entire contents of the tar or zip needs to be extracted correctly in order for Eclipse to work. Try again, get a clean extraction and then see if Eclipse starts correctly.
