The Eclipse IDE will fire after a few seconds with the JVM shutting down. Exit Code = 1

Question

I am using the Galileo eclipse IDE on Ubuntu 10.04 (with a JRE in the eclipse root directory) When I tried to download and use the new HELIOS eclipse, it instantly crashes or after 10 seconds with this error message

JVM terminated. Exit code=1 /usr/bin/java -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5 -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xms40m -Xmx384m -jar /home/arefaey/devel/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86_64 -showsplash -launcher /home/arefaey/devel/eclipse/eclipse -name Eclipse --launcher.library /home/arefaey/devel/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.0.v20100503/eclipse_1307.so -startup /home/arefaey/devel/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar -exitdata 1758045 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product -vm /usr/bin/java -vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5 -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xms40m -Xmx384m -jar /home/arefaey/devel/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar 

I googled and tried many suugestions:

• Changed eclipse directory
• Workspace directory changed
• changed eclipse.ini -Xmx256 to 512 or higher
• The eclipse.ini file has been deleted.
• Copy the JRE directory that works with Galileo- to the HELIOS root directory

It would be great if I got help with this, since HELIOS is really faster.

Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

I installed OpenJDK and it worked great

Answer 2

A known error when using Helios with Java 6u21 on windows, apparently, the sun changed the name of one of the parameters or something like that.

Some time ago, eclipse forums discussed adding a message to the main loading screen, but apparently they didn’t.

Answer 3

Which JVM are you referring to? Eclipse Helios works well with the Sun JVM under Ubuntu 10.04.

Answer 4

Known issue with Helios and Java 1.6.0_21. Wiki.eclipse already has a solution (workaround).

In short: either

• Return to 1.6.0_20
• increase permissions up to 256 MB
• download and use the corrected dll.

Here is a link to the wiki page

Answer 5

I have the same problem as ubuntu 10.04 64 bit:

but i don't use 21.

: / opt $ java -version java version "1.6.0_20" Java (TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02) Java HotSpot (TM) 64-bit server VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode)

Answer 6

I am using eclipse helios, implemented using the following args solved my problem (by default vm was 1.6.0_20-b02)

./eclipse\helios vm / opt2 / bea / jdk160_05 / bin / java -vmargs -XX: MaxPermSize = 128m -Xms128m -Xmx512m

Answer 7

This happens when you try to install a 32-bit eclipse on a 64-bit OS or vice versa. Try t have the same bit OS as well as Eclipse

Answer 8

I know that some people had the same problem with Eclipse using x86_64 versions of Ubuntu and JVM.

There is a workaround here

Answer 9

well, in my case, I was in the directory that was deleted, and I received the following error, as well as in the terminal

 Error occurred during initialization of VM java.lang.Error: Properties init: Could not determine current working directory. at java.lang.System.initProperties(Native Method) at java.lang.System.initializeSystemClass(System.java:1069)
