Why can’t I start the myeclipse from the command line?

Eugene,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue.The message no more handles indicates that the DISPLAY variable is not set. So there needs to be a working display for the Eclipse/MyEclipse IDE to display itself on and the DISPLAY variable needs to be set.

Do you see the workspace selection dialog when starting MyEclipse from command line?
Can you please set the DISPLAY option in Linux and check if it fixes the issue? Please also check if you have installed the correct version of GTK.

Please also check these threads which discuss similar issue and see if the suggestions help :

http://superuser.com/questions/918698/open-eclipse-with-a-linux-user-that-doesnt-have-graphical-environment-created

Please also check in Eclipse/Linux forums for more suggestions.

Let us know how it works.
