When I try launching Eclipse in Mavericks it does nothing. Neither activity monitor nor console reflect my attempt to launch it in anyway. The icon doesn't bounce. No errors show up. No error sound. Just nothing.
I have a few other programs exhibiting these same symptoms, such as NetExtender.
This is on a 2012 MBP (non Retina) with the version of Mavericks that was released to everyone through the MAS on October 22nd, 2013 (build 13A603... OS X 10.9.0).
Eclipse is version 4.3 NetExtender is version 6.0.719
Googling around, some people are suggesting the issue is with Java in Mavericks. I downloaded and installed the latest JDK (7.45) but that doesn't seem to have helped in anyway.
If your java version is below 1.8, you will have to update your Java Runtime Environment to at least 1.8. 0 by installing an updated JDK here. Then re-run the java version command and your version should be updated. You should now be able to install and run Eclipse.
error is caused when you are attempting to start Eclipse using the wrong version of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Your eclipse. ini file contains a java version which is different from the one installed/set on your machine. i have changed java version to 1.6 which is installed in my system .
Window | Show View | Other | General | Problems. All warnings, errors and problems in open projects will be logged in the Problems view, which displays the following information: Description - A detailed description of the error.
There should be a popup asking you to install a Java SE 6 runtime.
It didn't appear for me either at first but that might have been because some other windows was covering it, so I saw it when I restarted the computer, and it appeared again when opening eclipse after the restart.
Hope this helps!
