I recently downloaded eclipse for RCP and RAP developers. I am running OSX 10.5.8, and when I tried running eclipse i got the error "Version 1.5.0_30 of the JVM is not suitable for this product. 1.6 or greater is required". I went to utilities then java preferences and made sure that Java SE 6 was at the top of the preferred order list, it was not so I moved it up. I verified my system was pointing to the correct version

user-Macbook-Pro:~ user$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03-384-9M3425)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.1-b02-384, mixed mode)

however i still get the same error when trying to open eclipse. Any suggestions? Thank you for the help

  • which version your JAVA_HOME is pointing to? Do you have multiple versions? – sanbhat Apr 29 '13 at 18:41
  • "echo $JAVA_HOME" returns an empty line, "ls /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/" returns 1.3 1.4.2 1.6 Current 1.3.1 1.5 1.6.0 CurrentJDK 1.4 1.5.0 A so I have multiple versions, but apparently JAVA_HOME isn't pointing to any of them... – ekcrisp Apr 29 '13 at 19:00

It starts working after I modified eclipse.ini like below and added 

-vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin\javaw.exe
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20120522-1813.jar
-launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.200.v20120913-144807
-product
com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.package.product
-showsplash
