Eclipse crashing on Linux

Question

Whenever I try to start Eclipse on Linux, it briefly opens up, then crashes with the following error:

VM terminated. Exit code=160

I have checked to make sure the Java and Eclipse are both 32-bit installations.

From java -version:

IBM J9 VM (build 2.4, JRE 1.6.0 IBM J9 2.4 Linux x86-32 jvmxi3260sr9-20110726_87

From eclipse.ini:

--launcher.library plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_1.1.2.R36x_v20101019_1345

What else could I be missing?

ok thanks, then it can't be an issue, I google around it a bit, this bugreport complains about IBM VM (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=116730). Firstly, do you have gtk installed? Secondly, could you please try to start Eclipse with this command 'eclipse -vmargs -Dosgi.locking=none -Xnojit', the bugreport says it solved an other problem. — Bela Vizer, Oct 23 '12 at 17:24
@BelaVizer, thanks for your response. In my plugins directory, I do have eclipse_1310.so present in the directory `/opt/ibm/IntegrationDesigner/v8.0/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_1.1.2.R36x_v20101019_1345` — Poosh, Oct 23 '12 at 19:46
I tried starting Eclipse with the command you mentioned, and got a bit different of an error after the crash. JVM terminated. Exit code=160. Also mentioned org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.1.R36x_v20101122_1400.jar... Maybe I need to reinstall the JDK. — Poosh, Oct 23 '12 at 19:53

I ended up re-installing WebSphere Integration Designer, and I no longer encountered the issues. Thanks for the suggestions in the comments, everyone. :)
