Oxygen and High Sierra [message #1784666]

I upgraded my OSX from Yosemite to High Sierra. But now Eclipse fails to start. It logs en aerror like "com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (org.eclipse.platform.ide.7216[39934]): Service exited due to signal: Segmentation fault: 11 sent by exc handler[0]"

Trying to run a newly downloaded installer gives the same problem. A big box with, among other things, an indication of a NULL-pointer:

Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000
Exception Note: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

Termination Signal: Segmentation fault: 11
Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 0xb
Terminating Process: exc handler [0]

I have no idea where to start looking at this. Any suggestions?

Your Java may have been replaced together with the upgrade.

Try downloading the current JDK 8 from Oracle Web site <http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html>, setting it up and running the installer again.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Though it seems a bit strange. Running 'java -version' at the command line gives me 'java version "1.8.0_102"'. And running '/usr/libexec/java_home' gives me '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_102.jdk/Contents/Home'.
On the other hand, I never really understood where Java is located on OS X. And a fresh install of IntelliJ failed to automatically locate any JDK's.

Installing Java 8 u161 didn't immediately help. But after adding
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
to .bash_profile AND restarting, I now have a running Eclipse. Not sure if setting JAVA_HOME or restart did the trick, but at least I can get back to working.

Thanks!

When you are installing OSX from Yosemite to High Sierra then eclipse is not working in your Apple devices then you can simply reinstall the Eclipse in your Apple devices.
