Hi, thanks a lot for your tutorial. However I keep getting this error when trying to install Eclipse: "Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine." Do you know how to fix it? Thank you in advance.

Check JDK and JRE is the same version

[@DanielGrissom]

Hey, I had another student complain of the same thing. Ultimately she said this after fixing it: "Yes I finally fixed it after I realized eclipse wasn't recognizing Java 14." I think some people may be accidentally downloading a new(er) version of Java (14)...for some reason, only Java 8 seems to work on a Mac. I think this was the main issue and she likely had to uninstall Java 14 and go with Java 8. For reference, here were some other things I suggested to her: I'm not exactly sure what your issue is (by the way, this is typically the hardest part...getting the software installed!), but I suspect it may have something to do with your environment variables not being setup properly (essentially, Mac might not know where to find the Java software). Probably the next thing I would do would be to look into the JAVA_HOME variable to see if it's setup properly (assuming that the JDK is indeed installed properly (java -version). Here is a textual solution on stack overflow that might solve your problem: stackoverflow.com/questions/52652846/cant-install-eclipse-failed-to-create-the-java-virtual-machine-on-mac/56532418 Here is a KZbin video you may try to follow along with (starting at about 6 minutes) to see if his solution fixes your problem (I think the video is getting at the same thing as the link above): kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYXTnIOrlMSdoK8

Alert Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine ... so frustrating

[@alMighty8989]

fixed it! you just have to uninstall every other jdk except the 1.8.xxx stuff (jre 8 (LTS)) then it will work flawless.

[@harrycornell4674]

@@alMighty8989 how do you find the other jdk's? thanks

[@alMighty8989]

@@harrycornell4674 Just google my friend. I found it in a forum with someone got the same problem. He wrote a textline where you can find all installed jdks or versions... but I have no clue. I just copy pasted it.

[@beyzacevik3419]

Hey, guys, I solved this problem. You need to uninstall all the other jdk versions except the jdk8u and then install eclipse. It worked for me.

[@DanielGrissom]

Yes, sorry, I was just getting to responding here. I think people might miss the part where I talk about Mac needing Java 8 (truth be told, I made the same mistake when I first tried to make this video and tried to emphasize it a bit in the video, but maybe didn't make it clear enough).

[@manjunathm3965]

Even I was getting the same error. There can be mainly 3 reasons 1. Make sure that JDK and JRE and eclipse belongs to the same architecture (32bit or 64 bit) 2. Make sure that the JAVA_HOME path is set in your system. 3. You may be having multiple versions of java installed in your system, and while installing eclipse you have to make sure that it is pointing to java 1.8. Better reinstall java properly and set up the JAVA_HOME and try again.

Please help me how to install Java ME CLDC Platform Emulator on Macbook pro mid 2012 Because when I open the java - new project - Java ME - mobile application, it direct me to pop up this wizard guides you through a java ME project creation every CLDC prjects need to have CLDC compatible SDK/platform/emulator assigned to it. Pressing install SDK/platform/emulator button open Platform installation wizard, which allow you to add a platform then I click the box "install SDK/platform/emulator" After I click the box "install SDK/platform/emulator", there is a box "add platform", and I choose to install "Java ME CLDC Platform Emulator", but when I click next, there is a pop up choose directory to search for platform. I have no idea what is this? What should I choose? please help. Do you have a video guidance about it?

[@karas7716]

Do we have to set up environment variables? And how?

[@manjunathm3965]

Yes. You can do it by entering "export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)" in '.bash_profile' file. This '.bash_profile' can be found in /Users/'yourUserSpace'. And if any case it's not found then you can just create the file and enter the path.

When I go to run the installer I get: 'Version 1.8.0_131 of the JVM is not suitable for this product. Version: 11 or greater is required." I have downloaded the most recent Java update but the problem persists. HELP ME! I can't find this problem anywhere online.

[@Rass-qj7rq]

Hello you’ll need to update the eclipse installer. when done there vill be one more option when downloading eclipse ide for Java developers that says product version. change that to oxygen and then. change the Java 1.8+ VM option to your Java 8 installation now you can press install. when it’s installed you’re done. Now you can open eclipse.

[@dangrissom6179]

Please check out some of the other comments on this video. The problem is likely that you didn't install version 8 of the JDK. You'll likely need to uninstall all other versions.

[@mylovelytwins-donyaandbaha8519]

you probably downloaded jdk 14 which doesnt work with eclipse so go onto finder, "whateveryournameis" imac, then macintosh hd, then library, then java, then java virtual machines and delete the jdk 14 file, download jdk 8 (i downloaded 13 because it is newer) then try to open eclipse again and it should work

[@chrisshannon4768]

Thanks for the help! One question - What do I do if AdoptOpenJDK doesn't show up in the 'Use a project specific JRE' field, is that okay? I've verified installation of Java with the terminal and restarted Eclipse but it's using JavaSE-14 and doesn't show the JDK for project specific JRE. any help is appreciated! edit: I may have found it... I already had Eclipse Installed before downloading the JDK so I went to reinstall and select AdoptOpenJDK from the install page in Java 11+ VM field. Click the folder icon and find AdoptOpenJDK under System but it unselectable. Java 14 and 11 are the only ones you can select under External. Is the JDK already included in this version? Sorry for all the questions!

HI , when. i type java version ,it shows this error Error: Could not find or load main class ~version Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ~version

[@DemetrideSkepsi]

Were you typing 'java --version' into the Terminal/Command Prompt? based on the error message it looks like you got that from inside Eclipses console. I would try using your Terminal or whatever OS console you're using. useful: examples.javacodegeeks.com/java-lang-classnotfoundexception-how-to-solve-class-not-found-exception/
