Hello all,

I downloaded eclipse-java-europa-fall2-linux-gtk.tar.gz from the x86_64
download page and am attempting to run it on Debian Lenny amd64 with
sun-java6-jdk and sun-java5-jdk installed. I tried with /usr/bin/java and
the other java binaries pointing to the GCJ binaries, and again pointing
to the sun-java6-jdk binaries, and both produced the following error:

JVM terminated. Exit code=13
/usr/bin/java
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms40m
-Xmx256m
-jar

-jar
/usr/local/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0. 1.R33x_v20070828.jar

I cant really discern what went wrong from this. If anyone can give me
pointers, or if anyone can request information to further debug this
issue, it would be greatly appreciated.

I realize there's a 3.2 package in lenny/testing but I need to be on 3.3.1
to match my team.

Thanks,
rektide

See if you have an hs_err_pid?????.log in your home directory. If it's
a JVM crash that will have information.

Also look in your installation in the configuration directory, there
might be a log file there with information.

And finally, in your workspace (if you get that file), there is a log
file in the .metadata directory.

Without some additional information there is little anyone can do.

Just to be sure, you DID use the 64-bit JVM, didn't you? In my
experience Eclipse and JVM must be both either 32 or 64 bit.

Does Eclipse run at all, or does this happen as soon as it tries to
start? If you cna get it to come up, you should verify the JVM it is
really running with by going to Help > About Eclipse > Configuration
Details and look at the values for the properties java.vendor and
java.version

This just sounds like the kind of problems that many people have run
into when Eclipse is running on gcj. If it is running in gcj you'll have
to explicitly point it to the Sun JVM via -vm

Hope this helps,
Eric

Eclipse splash screen appears and then the crash happens, the real app
never loads.

I have used update-java-alternatives -s sun-6-java to set jvm to be the
default runtime, edited /etc/eclipse/java_home to include only
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun and set JAVA_HOME to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun.
None of this has seemed to coax eclipse into working. Error 13 every time.

Re: 64 bit versions:

foo@apriori:/usr/local/eclipse$ java -version
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode)

I do not have the ia32-sun-java6 package installed, which is the 32bit
compatibility version.

Eclispe has never made it past the splash screen and I have no logs in any
of these locations.

I agree 101% its hard to diagnose with so little information! The entire
problem seems to be encapsulated in a 4 bit code, "error code=13".

I'm no Linux expert so I don't know the efficacy of doing all that. But
I do know that the sure-fire way to be certain about the JVM that
Eclipse runs on is to specify it in eclipse.ini - see these wiki pages
for details:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini
http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_run_Eclipse%3F#Find_the _JRE

Since your problem is obviously related to the JVM, I would start by
following that method to be certain about the JVM selection. You might
also try a less cutting-edge JVM such as 1.5, just to see if it makes
any difference.

Hope this helps,
Eric

I was using a 64-bit JVM. However the eclipse I downloaded was a 32 bit
one. I knew ahead of time I needed and was looking for a 64 bit eclipse
so I'm not sure how I ended up with a 32bit version.

Problem fixed with a new Eclipse download.
