[gutsy kubuntu] Eclipse is crashing

Asked by Edmundo

I had already submitted this same problem, but it was marked invalid because I was not using eclipse from ubuntu packages.

I am now and the problem is still there. Here's the output from eclipse:

#

I'm using JDK 1.6u2 from sun (had to download it, didn't know what package to install to get from repositories... at least didn't find sun-java6-bin or jdk... perhaps you could point me to the package to use).

If you want the output from the hs_err file, just tell me.

You probably want to remove JDK, and install both sun-java6-bin and sun-java6-jdk ... Maybe sun-java6-jre as well. If you still experience issues with the Ubuntu packages, I would file a bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug .

Hope this helps,
Ryan

I can confirm this.

I have sun-java6-bin/sdk/jre + eclipse and both from gutsy repositories.

I had to run eclipse with following command: "eclipse -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/java", because otherwise eclipse can't find java.

I'm going to test with sun-java5-jdk, but this can't be a 'final solution' because java 5.0 is soo slow compared to 6.0

I was having almost exactly the same problem. I think the error message was almost identical. I uninstalled the alternative forms of java on my computer, installed sun-java6-jdk and sun-java6-plugin. I had already installed sun-java6-jre. Then I unistalled and reinstalled eclipse. It was then able to find java, and it appears to be working normally.

Can you help with this problem?
