Eclipse error on startup. Linux Mint. [message #1803174] Sun, 24 February 2019 19:20 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi, I don't know how to open eclipse. I keep getting an error. Here is the log https://gist.github.com/adabo/ed272831d54e4515d0f9643ba49c06a2
I'm running linux mint 19 btw.
I've tried installing through software manager and through installer from elipse.org
Commandline after eclipse -clean:
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Ignoring option MaxPermSize; support was removed in 8.0

Oddly enough, eclipse did actually run after the installer setup. But has not opened since.

The files:

I wonder what is the default version of Java that's available on your PATH? That's what the installer itself would have used and it's clear the installer worked for you...

I think Open JDK should work, but you might try installing an Oracle JDK and using that in place of
-vm
/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin
in the config.ini...

I see it in your list. But that doesn't tell me which "java" it finds when you type "java" on the command line...

Oh, sorry, I didn't understand. Here's the ouput:
java --version
openjdk 10.0.2 2018-07-17
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 10.0.2+13-Ubuntu-1ubuntu0.18.04.4)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0.2+13-Ubuntu-1ubuntu0.18.04.4, mixed mode)

Are you trying to use the version packaged in Mint, or a download/install from Eclipse.org? I wouldn't recommend trying to switch between them.

I have tried both which gave the same error. The only difference being that installer from eclipse.org launched eclipse immediately after install, but never again since.

I don't have any preference as to which one is installed and used. I just want to start coding.

If you try "which java" you will know that path to that version of Java and you could try to use that in your config.ini's -vm option, i.e., replace the line that currently has /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin with the bin folder of your Java 10 version of Java...

Thanks, Ed, I will do that. Might it be prudent, however to remove java 10 and install the new 11 instead?

First try that it works, then you could consider deleting Java installations that don't work.
