I uninstalled myeclipse 10.7 from my machine (via programming -> uninstall myeclipse). I tried to reinstall with a freshly downloaded copy of myeclipse (md5 verified). This is the output of the .run file:

./myeclipse-10.7-offline-installer-linux.run
Starting installer – please wait…
– Preparing install engine
– Extracted install engine
– Detected JVM architecture: 64 bit
– Launching install engine; waiting for completion
– Exited install engine

Nothing shows up on my screen during this time.

I am running ubuntu 12.10 64 bit

P.S. you guys should really do something to speed up downloads, they are very slow.

emooheo,

I’m sorry you’re seeing this problem. I couldn’t replicate in on a similar system (Ubuntu 12.10, 64 bit). Although the installer seems to have found a java executable, this is the only factor that I think might affect this. Which java implementation are you using? I tried with Java 7 update 9, (the JDK) from Oracle. You can point the installer directly at the executable with the -vm argument, like so (with the current directory being the one your installer is in):

./myeclipse-10.7-offline-installer-linux.run -vm /home/tony/Java/jdk1.7.0_09/bin/java

Change the java executable path to your own path.

See if that works and let us know the java implementation, if it doesn’t work.

I’m having the same problem, installing any version of myeclipse: 10.7 and 2013,
no matter the installer file (offline-online) and passing the java path as argument.
This is the output:
$ ./myeclipse-pro-2013-offline-installer-linux.run
Starting installer – please wait…
– Preparing install engine
– Extracted install engine
– Detected JVM architecture: 64 bit
– Launching install engine; waiting for completion
– Exited install engine

Also try with 32 bit java version and got the same result:
Starting installer – please wait…
– Preparing install engine
– Extracted install engine
– Using specified VM: /home/dt/jdk1.7.0_03/bin/java
– Detected JVM architecture: 32 bit
– Launching install engine; waiting for completion
– Exited install engine

I’m running Ubuntu 12.10 64bit

Daniel,

I’m sorry for the lateness of this reply. Is this still a problem for you? We have certainly testing the installers on some flavours of Linux, without problem so this is somewhat puzzling. I’ll try to replicate it on the same system you have though it may take a little while.

Have you been able to install previous releases without problem?

[Daniel Tutila]

Tony thanks for the reply,

I still have the problem, using the unattended option I see permission problems to execute the installer (both Myeclipse 10 and 2013).

Try to use pulse to install Myeclipse 2013, but didn’t found it. I will try to install again when I upgrade ubuntu at the end of the month, I guess a fresh install will solve the permission problems.

Daniel,

What kind of permission problems did you have and was this just with the unattended installation, or with the standard installation also? You may need to set the execution bit for the installer, to be able to run it and permissions should be set to allow your userid or your user group to read it.

I tried an unattended installation on Ubuntu 12.10, with the 2013 installer and had no problems.

[Daniel Tutila]

Tony,

The installer had no problems with my new Ubuntu install,
now I’m running MyEclipse 2013 with no problems.

Thanks

Daniel,

Thanks for letting us know. I’m glad it’s all working for you now.
