I am trying to run Eclipse MemoryAnalyzer on my Mac 10.13.6 (High Siena). When I start it, I get a message that reads

To open "MemoryAnalyzer" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime

There are several mentions of that on StackOverflow, but none of the suggested fixes work:

  • I have added 
    -vm
    /Users/myuser/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin/java

to MemoryAnalyzer.ini. Still the same problem.

  • I have added

    <string>-vm</string><string>/Users/myuser/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin/java</string>

to Info.plist. Still the same problem.

  • There is a /usr/bin/java, which is a symlink to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java. This is somewhat strange, as some people say it should be a symlink to /Users/myuser/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin/java. This may be a hint on a broken sdkman installation, but java --version behaves as expected, changing the version via sdk u java ... works as expected.

What else could I try?

  • Have you checked [this post](https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=198527&goto=1754167msg_1754167) on the eclipse forums? – Aaron Jan 17 '20 at 10:18
  • The post advices to change Eclipse.ini, which I did. For MemoryAnalyzer only installations, Eclipse.ini == MemoryAnalyzer.ini – Alex Feb 06 '20 at 13:37

To save someone some searching later, this worked for me:

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini#Using_a_JDK_without_macOS_directory_layout

Using SDKMAN! 8.0.282.hs-adpt, setting for me was:

$ cat /Applications/mat.app/Contents/Info.plist | grep sdk
            <string>-vm</string><string>/Users/[removed]/.sdkman/candidates/java/8.0.282.hs-adpt/jre/lib/jli/libjli.dylib</string>
