Eclipse Indigo for OS X Mavericks launched with Java SE 7

Question

I wanted to install eclipe Indigo SR2 on Mac OSX Mavericks and I got this message when I launched ./eclipse in Terminal :

Alert : Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine

And that in the Terminal:

JavaVM: Failed to load JVM: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/bundle/Libraries/libserver.dylib
JavaVM FATAL: Failed to load the jvm library.

I have that on my System :

java -version
java version "1.7.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)

Are you able to launch Eclipse from Finder? – Monreal

Any problem, it works with Finder too. – Hannahhannan

Answer 1

What I have done:

cd /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/
sudo mkdir bundle
cd bundle
sudo mkdir Libraries
ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/server/libjvm.dylib libserver.dylib

It works!

Glad you got it figured out. This is a useful fix, however unfortunate that it must be fixed at all. – Monreal
