Hello All,

I cannot install myeclipse either manually or using the self-installer version. Receiving this error message using the self-installer:

Also after trying the manual installation and restarting eclipse, it simply does not respond and crashes. Thanks in advance for help w/this.

BTW I did follow the instructions on forcing a different JVM for install that was posted in a previous topic, and eclipse still crashed.

jakek,
Any time you run install install issues with MyEclipse we encourage users to download and use the Manual installer instead. It’s an easy 2-step process and the instructions are included inside of the archive.

I did try the manual installation and eclipse hangs and crashes also getting the following message at command promt: Unable to execute early startup code for an extension

That sounds like a big installation issue. You might try re-downloading and reunzipping Eclipse 3.1.2 SDK to a new directory (don’t use an old dir) and also try restarting using the -clean command line argument incase your workspace is corrupt.

I tried that and the same thing happened. Not sure what to do ATM; the myeclipse install worked fine w/Fedora3

[Riyad Kalla]

Oh wait, are you trying to use GCJ or the redhat-specific Eclipse build? You shouldn’t be using either.

You can force Eclipse to use the Sun VM by using the -vm command line argument:
eclipse -vm /usr/bin/sun_jdk1.4.2/bin/java

is an example, your path will be different.

[jakek]

Ok, the installation went fine after using the -vm arg. Thanks much.

No worries, glad it worked.
