eclipse doesn't run : JVM terminated. Exit code=1

[arsham]

Hi
After searching/googling around , never found any answers , anyways...
Nobody explained what is this and the certain way to solve the problem , even removing java and eclipse didn't help

The code is here :

JVM terminated. Exit code=1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5. 0-sun/bin/java -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni -Dgnu.gcj.precompiled.db.path=/var/lib/gcj-4.1/classmap.db -Dgnu.gcj.runtime.VMClassLoader.library_control=nev er -Dosgi.locking=none -jar /usr/lib/eclipse/startup.jar -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86 -launcher /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse -name Eclipse -showsplash 600 -exitdata 261b800c -install /usr/lib/eclipse -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/bin/java -vmargs -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni -Dgnu.gcj.precompiled.db.path=/var/lib/gcj-4.1/classmap.db -Dgnu.gcj.runtime.VMClassLoader.library_control=nev er -Dosgi.locking=none -jar /usr/lib/eclipse/startup.jar

I'm using ubuntu feisty
And tried several purging/installing of java,eclipse and every dependencies

Help required for continue developing

Download eclipse SDK from eclipse.org and install Sun's JDK from Ubuntu repository. Although gcj is very impressive piece of software, it's not as good as Sun's. At least that's what I'm still doing and I've been using eclipse for 3 years now.

Thanks for reply
I did it , but the problem remains
I don't know what have I done , but it seems somethings wrong with my configuration files
I will try as a different user and see what happens

But , I also use Zend Studio 5.5 and couple of java programs without any problem

For what it is worth, I am running the eclipse stack (I need it for native Lotus Notes). My java version is 1.4.2. Might you have a version mismatch?

Make sure you're using Sun's jvm when running elicpse. use update-jave-alternatives to switch to sun's implementation.

if you're running x64, you may need to specify -XX:MaxPermSize=128M as runtime argument (put it in eclipse.ini). This solves crashing for on 64 arch for me.

If this doesn't help any, try starting eclipse with -clean argument, or even remove .metadata folder where your workspace is located.

eclipse -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/bin/java

[SOLVED]
Problem solved , but not fairly

I installed java 6 and did this :

update-java-alternatives -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

After that eclipse is running , but why with version of 6 and not with 5?

Thank you all for your help

Please keep this thread open to find a real solution , helping ubuntu to be the most user friendly distro ever
