I am using 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) and today I try to get eclipse IDE to work. After downloading and extracting the eclipse archive I could not find the way to run it.Code:

As you can see I cannot get the executable file eclipse (which is right there) get to run (it tells it is not there ). Probably I am doing something simple wrong. Can you tell me what is it and how to run the eclipse IDE?
You should install from repositories, then you should be able to run just simpe typing: eclipse (without any dots and slashes), and also it should be in the menu. And in your case, if you know, that eclipses binary is in that location, maybe it's not executable? you can make it executable doing this:
Code:
chmod a+x eclipse
go get it from the repositories, your life will become way easier Code:
sudo apt-get install eclipse
twinky,
I did the same as you and eclipse ran fine:Code:

Your eclipse folder seems to be missing the startup.jar file though.
ok ok, i know i can get it from repositories, but it is really strange that executable file could not be found! The repositories are great, but just theoretically what if I want to use the Eclipse IDE on the computer where is not an internet connection...?

Your eclipse folder seems to be missing the startup.jar file though.
today i downloaded eclipse from eclipse.org site (two different packages Eclipse IDE for Java Developers and Eclipse for Java Enterprise Developers), and there is no startup. jar
if there will be one i'll try 'java -jar startup.jar' at least
Well, I just found out after reading your post that eclipse 3.3 (europa) has been released, and there is no startup.jar file anymore

Still, it runs fine over here.
Excuse me if this is a silly question. Have you tried executing the eclipse file by double clicking on it in nautilus?

Are you sure that it is executable? Cause this problem, than file not found is usualy when you try to execute, but it's not executable. I'm talking not about that file is binary or something, but if it has the x mod. You can make it executable by executing this command:
Code:
chmod a+x eclipse(if you need root permission, add sudo in front of this command)
And the try it run ./eclipse
I think you discover that eclispe requires a shell script to start and if you used the repos and synaptic it would have put the shell script into /usr/bin. I don't think that eclipse you see in the directory is a vaild executable it may be just a loadable module.

and there is the eclipse library that you were trying to execute as a program from my /usr/lib directory.

Yes I have been trying that few times but nothing at all happen. (and you are also right that 3.3 version of eclipse don't have the startup.jar...it was the reason why i didnt get 3.2 from repositories I just wanted the fresh version Originally Posted by rapolasAre you sure that it is executable?

You can make it executable by executing this command:
Code:
chmod a+x eclipseas far as i can see it from ls -Al command the file eclipse is executable (x) for all the users, but to make it sure i used also the mentioned chmod command ... without any noticable impact and it still dont workOriginally Posted by DBStevensI think you discover that eclispe requires a shell script to start and if you used the repos and synaptic it would have put the shell script into /usr/bin.

Ok, the reason why i post it here is that it seems the file isn't there (but it is) and this is very confusing for me. I'll be ok if it says something like segmentation fault or something similar but not just 'No such file or directory'. [joke]Does it need glasses to see it?[/joke]
Anyway thank you all for the replies |
