I downloaded eclipse IDE (for C/C++ developers) to my Linux box running 14.04 LTS. I downloaded 64 bit version of JRE and 64 bit version of eclipse. I can run fine as root (sudo), but when I try to run from my user account, I get this log file output:

Just to clarify:
sudo eclipse works fine (eclipse at /opt/eclipse/eclipse is linked to /usr/local/bin).
eclipse and /opt/eclipse/eclipse return the error above.
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Vijay

  • do you mean when you open executable from the directory of eclipse ? – Mohamed Slama May 31 '16 at 16:31
  • Hi Mohamed, I linked my eclipse executable at /opt/eclipse/eclipse to /usr/local/bin as suggested in Ubuntu documentation on eclipse install. /usr/local/bin is in my path. From my user space directory, I can do: %> sudo eclipse <<<< this works okay but %> eclipse <<< gives me the error – Vijay Kamarshi May 31 '16 at 16:34
  • please edit your question and append these information – Mohamed Slama May 31 '16 at 16:43
  • what's happen when you run `/opt/eclipse/eclipse` ? without **sudo** – Mohamed Slama May 31 '16 at 16:55
  • Running /opt/eclipse/eclipse without sudo - I get the same error – Vijay Kamarshi May 31 '16 at 16:59

  • what's the output of `echo $JAVA_HOME` or `whereis java` if not `/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle` or `java - your version - oracle ` this the reason – Mohamed Slama May 31 '16 at 17:35
  • Can you please run `find /opt/eclipse ! -readable -ls` as a regular user and post the output (including errors)? I suspect that some access permissions aren't set correctly and that prevents the class loader from finding all the necessary classes. – David Foerster May 31 '16 at 17:56
