Hi everybody.
The problem: elcipse-3.5.0 (Galileo) spits with an error when I try to launch it by clicking its launcher. The curse sound like this:
A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or
Java Development Kit (JDK) must be
available in order to run Eclipse. No
Java virtual machine was found after
searching the following locations:
/home/emanemos/bin/eclipses/eclipse-3.5.0/jre/bin/java
java in your current PATH
However, everything goes smoothly when eclipse is started from console.
Before installing eclipse I’ve installed jdk1.6.0_16. I also created the $JAVA_HOME variable and changed my $PATH:
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/java/jdk1.6.0_16
$ echo $PATH
/home/emanemos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/java/jdk1.6.0_16/jre/bin
So that, my terminal got to know what java is:
$ java -version
java version
“1.6.0_16”
Java(TM) SE Runtime
Environment (build 1.6.0_16-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build
14.2-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
Then a folder eclipse was extracted from .tar.gz package under the directory ~/bin/eclipses. I changed the folder’s name eclipse to eclipse-3.5.0 and changed $PATH again:
$ echo $PATH
/home/emanemos/bin/eclipses/eclipse-3.5.0:/home/emanemos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/java/jdk1.6.0_16/jre/bin
From this moment I was blessed to launch eclipse from console by the command eclipse.
However, I feel desperate about using the eclipse’s application launcher.
Thanks in advance. I would be grateful for any help.
Add this to eclipse.ini:-
-vm
$Java_home/jdk1.5.0_14/bin/javaw.exe
