An error has occurred [message #1828997]

I am new to this forum. I have been searching for issues in running Eclipse on a Raspberry Pi 4. I came across a post on this forum: https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/1827504/?srch=raspberry+pi#msg_1827504.

The user didn't look like he was able to solve his problem; and I didn't know how to add a post to that topic string.

I also found some documentation on running java 64 bit. Since I am doing this development on a PI 4 I believe I am at the mercy of the Debian package loaded as to which Eclipse and Java version to install. Unless someone is aware of a way to resolve this issue.

I have uploaded the log file which was generated upon running of Eclipse.

I am having what looks like the same problem getting Eclipse to run on Raspberry Pi.
I am working with both a Pi 3B and a Pi 4. I have run apt full-upgrade on both.
When trying to run eclipse on each system the error log generated is the same and looks similar to Guy Mereness' attachment.
Don't have a clue how to resolve this. Any pointers as to were to start would be useful.

You may be out of luck.

The RasPi's run on ARM processors, but I have not seen yet a version of Eclipse which would run on other CPU than some of the i386 descendants.

I have yet to see a version of Raspbian/Debian that has anything close to a current release of Eclipse,
and versions as old as they're shipping are not at all runnable with the Java runtimes they're providing.

https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/ does include downloads for aarch64, you'll just have
to download and unpack them yourself.

For the next release, the packages will also have aarch64 downloads. Here's a preview:

I'm not sure I'll have the time to build Eclipse Installers for this...

Thanks all for responding. I had hope based on a process put forward by a Rpi HW supplier.
It has been "awhile" sense I have used java and the book I got to get back up to speed uses Eclipse. I was hopping to have one learning curve at a time. Oh well.

Other IDE options can work. With this issue resolved, back to relearning and the original objective.

thanks again
