Eclipse Luna Crashed on XFCE

[cesarvasc]

I've installed the new Eclipse Luna on my Debian Wheezy (with XFCE). When I try to run, the Eclipse crashes just after the splash screen runs.
Well, I've tried to run on other JVM (1.7 update 60), but I got the very same problem.

Here's the log:

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

Is this a problem with the Eclipse or even its compatibility with my XFCE?

Similar problems for KDE, read this: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=430736

Try this, first do:

Code: Select all

  export SWT_GTK3=0

and then start eclispe.

If it works, a permanent option:
You can add the following lines to eclipse.ini to make it permanent

Code: Select all

--launcher.GTK_version
2

This will force eclipse to use GTK 2 always

This is my eclipse.ini:

Code: Select all

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20140415-2008.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.200.v20140603-1326
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.standard.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.GTK_version
2
--launcher.appendVmargs
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m

i hope it helps!

Dear 4fff618,

you are the best! It worked perfectly.
I've replaced my eclipse.ini with yours, and all went very well.
Thank you, my friend.
