java -version java version "1.6.0_07" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode)
This is your problem. This jvm is buggy in 64 bit version
Suppostly it got fixed in the latest java version. All 64 bit java users should download the latest Java SDK, intall it in their home and mofify thier PATH. That should fix the problem.
I just downloaded the latest version.
java -version java version "1.6.0_10-rc" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-rc-b28) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode)
eclipse -vm /home/user/jdk1.6.0_10/bin/java
Seems to be working correctly (at least it starts now).
Hopefully there will be a patch for this eventually. In the meantime I'll try to setup something up to use this version.
Thanks for the help.
Good I would also suggest that you download Eclipse from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ You extend Eclipse with plug-ins that get downloaded and install in your system. One common plugin to get is the Subversion plugin. I do not know how SuSE handles iupdating Eclipse with new plugins so it might work or not. Also there is the question of which version of Eclipse did the SuSE people decide to package? As you can see in the downloads page... there are several options of "flavors of Eclipse depending on what you want to do. Therefore: I strongly suggest that you DO NOT use the Eclipse that comes with the distro. Instead download and install the one(s) that you need in your home dir. For examples, I have the Classic Edition for developing Plugins and I have the CDT version for doing C/C++ in SEPARATE directories. In addition, the updates for Eclipse will come directly from eclipse.org and by using the downloaded version then you have the latest version and updates available without much fuzz. cheers -H -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
