Launching Eclipse on solaris

Thread view:

I am trying to launch Eclipse on Solaris, using the following command:

./eclipse -vm /export/home/j2sdk1.4.2_05/jre/bin/java_vm -vmargs
Xmx256M

I get the error saying "JVM terminated. Exit code=139"

Does anyone know what's wrong ? It seems to be trying to launch
startup.jar, but failing for some reason.

Thanks in advance.

Use java instead of java_vm !

It could be the missing dash in front of Xmx:
-vmargs -Xmx256M

Thanks for the responses.

I set the PATH variable explicitly and then was able to launch Eclipse
yesterday.

However, this morning, it's back to a different error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:java.lang.runtime: method
removeShutDownHook(Ljava/lang/Thread;)Z not found

org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.takeDownSplash(Main.java:1600)

Hi Ann,

maybe you just had set the PATH in your current shell the day before, but not
in your .profile or .cshrc.
It seems to me, your PATH setting got lost when you did login the next day.
The error message is caused by an older java version on your PATH.
Simply type java -version on your current shell and check if you have a 1.4.2

Arne
