I just downloaded the Eclipse ZIP for Linux-Motif and installed it under
the /opt folder. I did this under root and I'm trying to run it as root
for the moment. There appears to be a disconnect either in a
configuration or the java VM. When I run Eclipse I get the following:
[root@Hercules root]# cd /opt/eclipse
[root@Hercules eclipse]# ./eclipse
Warning: -os not understood. Ignoring.
Warning: -ws not understood. Ignoring.
Warning: -arch not understood. Ignoring.
Warning: -showsplash not understood. Ignoring.
Also, I get a popup message saying I should look into my .metadata
folder under the user for an explanation of what is wrong. However,
there is no .metadata folder unless I create one, and when I create one
nothing is put into it. Since I installed it as root, running as root,
I don't think I'm dealing with a permissions issue.
Just another data point, when I run java in the eclipse folder to get
its version, I get the following:
[root@Hercules eclipse]# java -version
java version "1.3.1"
jdkgcj 0.2.3 (http://www.arklinux.org/projects/jdkgcj)
gcj (GCC) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)

It really bothers me that the SUN installed java is reporting 1.3.1, but
I'm certain I installed the 1.4.2 bin file. When I start the install
bin I get a window with the following message:
The InstallShield Wizard will install Java 2 Platform, Standard
Edition, v1.4.2 and NetBeans IDE 3.5.1 on your computer.
By the way, the installed NetBeans runs fine that came with the java VM.
There could almost be a conspiracy here! Any pointers or help would
be appreciated.
Regards,
Bud Curtis

I figured it out thanks to Dan Gray's input. Evidently Red Hat 9 has a 3.2
version of java installed in the /usr/bin. If you don't put the newer java
SDK 1.4.2 in the front of the path, Eclipse can't come up. Now that I have
it in the Eclipse is coming up fine.

Actually, that's looks like the runtime for the GNU Compiler for
Java, which compiles Java bytecodes into natively executable
form. The Eclipse launcher, "eclipse", has a -vm parameter to
let you specify the exact "java" executable to use.
