Eclipse Installer error [message #1808441]

Mon, 24 June 2019 12:34

Eclipse User

Hello all,

I am currently trying to install the latest version of eclipse. I haven't ever used it before and I seem to be running into some issues installing it. My roommate attempted a fresh install and everything worked, so the problem is something locally on my end. I have attached the error messages below. Any suggestions?

The -vm argument looks a bit odd, i.e., it seems to be running the server version of Java.

Could you try running it from the command line like this so that it specifically uses the java.exe in the bin folder:

"<path>/eclipse-inst-win64.exe" -vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.1\bin\java.exe"

Please let me know how that works out.

I opened up the cmd prompt and I seem to be getting "system cannot find the file specified" messages. I'm also a newbie to all this so it's possible I'm just enetering it wrong, so feel free to explain it like I'm 5.

I created a folder under program files called "Eclipse" and placed the eclipse-inst-win64.exe in it.

So in the command prompt I've put in "<C:\Program Files\Eclipse>/eclipse-inst-win64.exe -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.1\bin\java.exe" exactly like that. If there's any mistakes in there, please let me know.

Edit: I managed to get a browser window to pop up stating:

Unfortunately the Java version needed to run Eclipse Installer couldn't be found on your system. You need the following version or a higher version:

Are there one or more of these I should add?

The <path> was meant as something your replaced with a real path. So probably you should use:

 "C:\Program Files\Eclipse\eclipse-inst-win64.exe" -vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.1\bin\java.exe"

So when I enter "C:\Program Files\Eclipse\eclipse-inst-win64.exe" -vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.1\bin\java.exe", the installer comes up, but then gives the following error messages:

In your new image I see a -vm specifying a jdk1.8.0_112, but also the server version. So I'm a bit confuse about what versions of Java you have. And it seems particularly odd that you get this new message when you specify some other -vm. Did you get the installer from this link?

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/oomph/epp/2019-06/R/eclipse-inst-win64.exe

You could try to specify the path of the java.exe in the bin folder of the jdk1.8.0_212 folder, though that should just be found just by default...

The jdk1.8.0_112 was from an earlier attempt I had made on my own after getting a message saying "Java version needed to run Eclipse Installer couldn't be found on your system." I went ahead and did a fresh install of both Java and Eclipse just a minute ago to where I am getting the same original issue. The cmd prompt of "C:\Program Files\Eclipse\eclipse-inst-win64.exe" -vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.1\bin\java.exe" still gives me an error message of:

Internal Error: Could not initialize class org.eclipse.oomph.jreinfo.JREManager

I see. So the installer shows you the first page and then when you click on the package/product you want to install, the installer terminates while turning to the second page (simple variable page).

Unfortunately the stack trace does not give me information about why the JREManager class could not be initialized. I'd need to see the full log file and would hope to find logged there prior failures that lead to the final failure.

If you use the installer's menu in the upper right on the first page of the installer, and switch to "ADVANCED MODE..." the installer will ask if you want to keep it in a permanent location. If that works, you can put it somewhere (that you remember where it is) in your file system.

Likely the first page of the advanced mode will fail in a similar way that the second page of the simple mode failed. But in this case you can find the log file in the <installer-location>/configuration/*.log and could attach that file to your forum post.

Alternatively you can find this log in the horrible "tmp" location that you see in the failure dialog, e.g., in the most recent example crash it would be under under C:\Users\Ken!\AppData\Local\Temp\eoi169F.tmp\configuration\*.log. The installer extracts itself to a temporary location and you can see that location in the crash dialog after the -startup line.

Of course you can also avoid using the installer and download something directly from here and unzip it:

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/

But it would be nice to know why the installer is failing so that I can fix whatever the problem is...

I wasn't able to get the installer menu to run at all, it would fail after downloading the eclipse.exe file. Downloading the .zip has seemed to work though. When I open it, it asks to select a directory as a workspace, is this correct?

I was able to grab the .log from the temporary file. It is pasted below, as well as attached on here.

It's all very mysterious. It looks like the OSGi framework is failing to load JNI (Java Native Interface). E.g., even eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient45.win32 appears to have failures starting/loading. The JREManager uses JREInfo which has a JNI fragment for reading the system registry (to find all your Java installations), and that appears to not work either. But I tried installing JDK 12.0.1 on my machine and am able to run the installer with that version of Java and no log file is produced, so there doesn't appear to be anything problematic about that JDK implementation in and of itself.

If downloading the zip works, then yes, it will first prompt for a workspace directory before launching. I fear though that once launched it's likely to fail the same way as the installer (because the installer is just an Eclipse application), but if that works, then at least you can get started an avoid this problem because I'm at a loss for what else to suggest (other than specifying the -vm argument to use a different JDK)...
