eclipse IDE crashes after seconds with JVM terminated. Exit code=1

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

JVM terminated. Exit code=1

I googled and tried many suugestions :

• Changed the eclipse directory
• Changed the workspace directory
• changed the eclipse.ini -Xmx256 to 512 or highe开发者_开发百科r
• Deleted the eclipse.ini file.
• Copied the JRE directory -which works with Galileo- to the HELIOS root directory

It woud be great if I got help with that as HELIOS is really faster.

Thanks in advance,

There is a known bug when using Helios with Java 6u21 on windows, apparently sun changed the name of one of the parameters or something .

There was a discussion a while back on the eclipse forums about adding a message to the main download screen, but apparently they didn't do it.

Link to the bug

I installed OpenJDK and it worked fine

Which JVM do you invoke with? Eclipse Helios works well with the Sun JVM under Ubuntu 10.04.

There's known issue with Helios and Java 1.6.0_21. wiki.eclipse has a solution (workaround) already.

In brief, either:

• Switch back to 1.6.0_20
• increase perm gen space to 256 MB
• download and use a patched dll.

Here's the link to the wiki page

I have the same issue running ubuntu 10.04 64 bit:

but I am not using 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)

I'm using eclipse helios, realized running with following args solved my problem (default vm was 1.6.0_20-b02)

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

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

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

There is a workaround here

well in my case I was in a directory that was deleted, I got the below error as well in the terminal

Error occurred during initialization of VM
java.lang.Error: Properties init: Could not determine current working directory.
