I am running a couple of Mac labs in an education setting and am trying to install and configure Eclipse for use on these computers. I can install and run it just fine from a local account but when I try to log in with an Open Directory account, admin or otherwise, I get this error:

"You can't open the application "Eclipse" because it is not supported by this type of Mac"

Does anyone have any insight into this? It's the only application I have any problems with running and I'm seeing it consistently across my network.

Side note, I tried it on my Macbook Pro which is on AD and it had the same problem, works fine on a local account cant open from a network account.

Thanks

ok I managed to figure it out:

in /eclipse/configuration/config.ini add the line
osgi.locking = none

this turns off a Java file locking feature that doesnt play nicely.

I have configured Open Directory and File Server for the cs lab running Mac OS X version 10.9.4 and client is 10.7.5.
The local network user log on client and launch eclipse luna that pop up the error message "You can't open the application "Eclipse" because it is not supported by this type of Mac".

I did in, but it didn't resolve problem.
/eclipse/configuration/config.ini add the line
osgi.locking = none

Please help.
Regards,
Hoa

I seem to be having the same issue with Eclipse Luna and Mars, Kepler is fine though. If I put the eclipse folder under the Applications folder, it runs fine for the logged in user. If I login with a different account using AD, then it gives me the message "You can't open the application "Eclipse" because it is not supported by this type of Mac". If I run the "eclipse" alias file, it seems to work though. Has anybody figured out how to resolve this yet?

I had the same problem with Eclipse but for me it is even stranger. It worked fine until today when I start receive the same message.

The solution for me was to:
- go to Applications in eclipse folder
- right click on Eclipse
- choose Show Package Contents than
- run Contents/MacOS/eclipse
A terminal window is opened and my Eclipse is running.

For now is fine, but I have to make it work like it did before.

Hi Dwight Masterman

Did you work out what was causing your problem? I have the same issue now, but I can resolve it by doing the same work around as you.

Kind Regards

Joseph

Hi Dwight Masterman

I have the same issue, and your workaround works for me too.

Did you work out what was wrong?

Many thanks

Joseph

I'm running into the same problems with AD users not able to open Eclipse. I've done the fixes that people have posted here and none have worked. Has anyone else fixed this?

Thanks

I am also experiencing this issue on my lab Macs with AD users only. Have tried this fix and this one:

I fixed the problem with:

chgrp -R everyone /Applications/eclipse
A way to preempt the problem, for anyone doing a new installation, is to do the following before unzipping the tarball:

newgrp everyone

found on apple.stackexchange.com (sorry, this forum will not let me post the link...) without success. I do see this issue in both the 32- and 64-bit versions.

My administrators recently changed my laptop configuration so that my user account was an Active Directory mobile account. I had installed Eclipse my original (and now non-deleted) local user account, so everything in /Applications/eclipse was owned by "olduser UID":staff instead of "ADuserName":admin. When I changed everything in the eclipse folder to be owned by "ADuserName":admin:

chown -R ADuserName:admin /Applications/eclipse


everything worked again.

It is the permission problem of eclipse. I just fixed it by next steps.

cd /Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS
sudo chmod 755 eclipse
