    I’m running Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit. I downloaded the myeclipse 7 all in one installer. Unziped the archive myeclipse-7.0.1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tgz and double clicked the myeclipse-70-installer executable.

    The installer shows a progress bar that appears to be running, but then the bar fills up as though it is complete. However, after 50 minutes the Installer looks as though it is hung.

    The Installer window has the message:

    Validating MyEclipse 7.0
    Resolving MyEclipse dependencies
    [MyEclipse Logo]
    Resolving and validating the profile…
    [progress bar showing complete]

    rahible,

    Are you behind a proxy or firewalled environment that may require custom network configuration?

    Nope, I’m on my home network and had internet access as I posted the original message while the installer was ‘hung’. That leads me to a question though, do you have to have an active internet connection to run the install?

    For the All in One installer, no, it can be run offline. For the online installer (available from the poweredbypulse.com download page here: http://www.poweredbypulse.com/eclipse_packages_linux.php) yes you would need online access.

    Yesterday morning there was a link in the last post to this site for an offline installer. I used it got a little different result. The installer window just closes with no further information. I traced through the log files that were outputed in the Genuic/Common/logs directory, but didn’t see anything obvious.

    I just cut my losses and gave up on MyEclipse after I was able to install NetBeans 6.5 with no problem.

    Thanks

    I had a few minutes today, and thought I would install Eclipse 3.4 “Classic” and attempt to use the Eclipse Update to install MyEclipse 7.0. I was unable to start Eclipse 3.4 and received the error java: localref.c:335: localref_add: Assertion `lrt != ((void *)0)’ failed. According to the website https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+question/53777 it appears that Eclipse 3.4 will not run on Ubuntu 8.10.

    Maybe this will help someone else struggling to run the ‘All-In-One’ installer or eclipse 3.4 in general.

    Thank you rahible for taking the time to post the reply. Current limitation of Ubuntu 8.10 is that it doesn’t support Eclipse 3.4 and ME 7.0 is built on top of Eclipse 3.4. This will be a pointer to other Ubuntu 8.10 users.

    rahible,

    I think you misunderstood the launchpad issue you mentioned. It belongs to the eclipse package from the ubuntu repository and just says that this site will not offer support for eclipse versions that are not from the repository.

    I’m currently running Eclipse 3.4/MyEclipse 7 on Ubuntu 8.10 64bit and had no trouble installing. But I’m currently using 32bit Java and Eclipse versions.

    What I did:
    – Downloaded 32bit Java6 JRE from Sun and installed it in folder Apps/java below my user home
    – Downloaded and extracted Eclipse 3.4 Classic Package for Linux 32bit from Eclipse.org
    – Edited eclipse.ini to use the vm I installed, by adding those two lines (must be before -vmargs line):

    -vm
    /home/oliver/Apps/Java/sun-ia32/bin/java

    The path points to the “java” executable of the JRE

    – Started Eclipse
    – Installed MyEclipse via these Instructions: http://www.myeclipseide.com/module-htmlpages-display-pid-383.html
