Eclipse does not start (Ubuntu): JVM is complete. Exit Code = 2

Question

• I install ubuntu 14.04 LTS (64 bit)
• After that install Eclipse Luno Standard for 64-bit

• Install Jdk and follow all the steps to configure jdk using the following link,

  http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Oracle-Java-JDK-on-Ubuntu-Linux

• Then, after I turned on the launch of my eclipse, he gave me the following error:

  VM is complete. Exit Code = 2

  /usr/bin/java -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6 -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -jar /home/eheuristic/Ecclipse/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20140415- 2008.jar -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86_64 -showsplash /home/eheuristic/Ecclipse/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.platform_4.4.0.v20140925- 0400/splash.bmp -launcher /home/eheuristic/Ecclipse/eclipse/eclipse -name Eclipse --launcher.library /home/eheuristic/Ecclipse/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1. 200.v20140603-1326/eclipse_1605.so -startup /home/eheuristic/Ecclipse/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20140415-2008.jar --launcher.appendVmargs -exitdata 208017 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product -vm /usr/bin/java -vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6 -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -jar /home/eheuristic/Ecclipse/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20140415-2008.jar 

I try to solve the environment variable setting so much, but I can’t help me suggest how to solve it.

Answer 1

I find my stupid solution

I am trying to install jdk which supports 32 bit version.

I am loading a new jdk1.8.0_25 for 64-bit and following the step I have solutions.

Answer 2

Firstly, I highly recommend you use webupd8 ppa

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer 

Then to install it

 sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-8-oracle 

The advantage is the ease of updates.

Answer 3

write to eclipse.in at the top of the file

 -startu -vm /usr/local/jdk/jre/bin 

change the path according to your system

Answer 4

There was the same mistake. Solved it:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

I started "using / usr / lib / jvm / java-8-openjdk-amd64 / jre / bin / java to provide / usr / bin / java (java) in manual mode" - this was option 4 and it worked fine.

I am using Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2).

Hope this helps someone.

Answer 5

I know for sure how to solve your problem, go to the search and put it in the environment, a prompt will appear and ask you to "change the environment variables for your account", click on it, and a window will appear. there will be current paths that run on top (you must have a version of jdk running on a mine equal to 1.8), and paths will also be selected at the bottom. select (at the bottom) the path to java and delete it, then click "OK." he should work

Answer 6

I had the same problem when trying to run Eclipse and Android Studio on Ubuntu with Java 9. Solution. Install Java 8

  sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer 

and set it as default

  sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default 

and voilà.
