Eclipse doesn`t start

[calin_ionut]

Hello! I have a problem...i want to use sun java and eclipse in ubuntu 11.04 and the problem is that eclipse is not starting:



A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK)
must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine
was found after searching the following locations:
/home/calin/Applications/eclipse-jdk/jre/bin/java
java in your current PATH


what i do:

Delete all installations of Java.
Install the Java SDK (self-extracting) into /opt/jdk1.6.0_26
Create a symbolic link: ln -s /opt/jdk1.6.0_26 /opt/jdk

Edit $HOME/.bashrc:

JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin

Logout and log back in.

In console if i use the command



java -version

the result is


java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode)


so that`s mean the java is set correct in my PATH


So what could be the problem????:confused:

Same problem here. From the bash works perfect, but if i add a launcher in gnome, it give the message

A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK)
must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine
was found after searching the following locations:
/home/calin/Applications/eclipse-jdk/jre/bin/java
java in your current PATH

Any hint?
greets,

I removed all java installation and then i installed this way:



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java




sudo apt-get update




sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin



Now everything works fine.

Cheers!:D

Yes, but what about if i a want to use a differrent version of java, different from the package.
I have solved in this way:
i have added an symbolic link to the Java Run Environment
In my case, the eclipse is on the path

/home/roberto/herramientas/eclipse
and i do the following:
Change to the path of eclipse

cd /home/roberto/herramientas/eclipse
I create a directory called jre

mkdir jre
Change to the directory that i create

cd jre
And do a symbolic link to the xternal virtual machine, that i downloaded from Sun/Oracle

ln -s /opt/jdk1.6.0_20/jre/bin/ bin

it works perfect...

Greets,
