You mean: “2) Go to our download page here: http://myeclipseide.com/index.php?name=Recommend_Us&req=Download&version=ME and follow the instructions at the end of the page for installing from the “MyEclipse 9.0 (Update Site)”. ”
This is the method that produced the problems I posted May 13.
Clayton,
Could you elaborate on the problem you had with the method in the first suggestion? Was it the same as previously?

Do you mean using Pulse to install?
Clayton,
I’m a little confused now. As far as I can tell, you first tried the off-line all-in-one installer. You had problems because you hadn’t previously installed Java, so the install failed. Even after installing Java, you still had a failure. The next option was to use pulse directly (the installer you downloaded first uses pulse under the covers). I don’t think you’ve tried this yet. Joy gave you this link on how to install from pulse: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/installation-how-to-install-myeclipse-from-pulse/
A third option is to install using an update site. The instructions for this are given at the end of the page: http://myeclipseide.com/index.php?name=Recommend_Us&req=Download&version=ME note that you can also use these instructions to install from an archive update site, that you can download from the same page. To use an update site, you have to install Eclipse first (the Classic distribution), as mentioned in the instructions on the page and as mentioned by Brian is his reply above: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/trying-to-install-myeclpse-9-0-under-suse-9-0/#post-316809
Could you please try any of the above methods that you haven’t yet tried and let us know how it goes? If you’ve tried all of them, please post some details of the problems with pulse and the update site options.

This procedure does not work because the pulse_installer can’t find a java virtual machine.

The same problem happens with these other install methods: there is no Java VM found. My guess is that it is because the JVM executable isn’t in the path. So I set up the PATH to include the JRE bin, and when I run myeclipse_9.0a-offline-installer-linux.run, I get an error that complains about NoClassDefFoundError, with the complaints that I have logged previously.
I tried to install using pulse, now that I had the PATH set correctly, and this time,
“The windowing libraries for your operating system and architecture are not available. Please confirm that you are using the installer that corresponds to your architecture.”
So I tried installing Eclipse 3.6.1, from the URL above. That did not work. It downloaded a tgz. I used gunzip to uncompress; then used tar -xvf to extract. But I could not find anything that would actually run. I ran eclipse, but the error messages in the log file were complaints about “Could not load SWT library.”
Clayton,
That problem with pulse sounds like a mismatch between the installed JDK and the Pulse installer. Is one of them 64 bit and the other 32 bit?
With the Eclipse Classic install, the extracted contents is where you run eclipse from. There is no install script for Eclipse, so your attempt to run the eclipse executable was correct. Again, the error you had with that looks like it may be a 64 bit/32 bit conflict. However, it may be that Suse 9.0 is just too old. Out of interest, you could try downloading and running a version of Eclipse from 2003/2004.
However, I’ve actually now managed to located a SUSE 9.0 distribution and will install it to a virtual machine and try installing MyEclipse myself. I’ll let you know how that goes.

Thank you. I wish that I had the option of upgrading SuSE 9.0, but this is a rather ugly situation concerning the servers that we have to use.
Hi,
Today I had the same problem about the “No Java virtual machine was found after ….”
I fixed by just creating two symbolic links to my executable java file (which is in /opt/java/) as Tony said.
Thanks Tony

RicardoI’m glad that worked for you, Ricardo.
Clayton,
I successfully installed Suse 9.0, eventually. Then I did this:
I installed the mozilla package using Yast (not sure if I needed it but there have been problems with eclipse not able to find correct libraries without it).
I installed the Sun JDK (1.6) in my home directory. I didn’t have a Yast repository defined that had a JDK so I just copied across the JDK installer I had on Ubuntu and ran that. It installed fine in my home directory.
Then I copied across the MyEclipse 9.0 offline installer and ran it. Because I hadn’t installed the JDK in a standard place, I used a -vm argument to identify the jvm to use (-vm /home/tony/java/jdk1.6.0_25/bin/java in my case). It all installed smoothly and I started up MyEclipse with no problem. I also created a Web Project and ran it on a Tomcat server, with no problem. I did have an issue with the JSP editor, to do with those mozilla libraries, but that’s another issue (and I was able to edit the JSP by ignoring the error).
So would you be able to try these exact steps and see if you can get MyEclipse installed?

I’m showing my ignorance here. I downloaded jdk-6u26-linux-i586_rpm.bin with mozilla, but I am unclear how to install it. I am used to using apt-get to install packages, but I am a bit unclear on this.
Clayton,
I’m not sure about an rpm bin file. I downloaded jdk-6u25-linux-i586.bin, set the execute permission and ran it. You could try just setting the execute permission on the rpm bin file and trying to execute it. Maybe it invokes rpm.

Nope.
bash: ./jdk-6u26-linux-i586-rpm.bin: cannot execute binary file
Clayton,
Did you set the execute permission on the bin file? I tried this myself:
I downloaded the rpm bin file. I then opened a terminal (konsole), switched to the directory containing the download, added the execute permission and then entered:
sudo ./jdk-6u26-linux-i586-rpm.binIt unpacked the file and then installed java to a system folder. I’m sure MyEclipse would install fine now, even without the -vm argument.
If you can’t use sudo, then download the other jdk file, that I did, and follow the steps I gave you before. If you can use sudo then just follow the steps above then run the MyEclipse installer.
Yes, I set execute permissions (chmod ugo+x). I just tried it using sudo ./jdk-6u26-linux-i586-rpm.bin with the same result.
When you say, “download the other jdk file, that I did, and follow the steps I gave you before.” Which date are you referring to? There are a lot of replies on this. (I appreciate your patience–but it isn’t clear to which step you are referring.)
Clayton,
The other jdk file that I referred to is the one without the “-rpm” in the name. So something like “jdk-6u26-linux-i586.bin”. The steps I was referring to are those mentioned here: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/trying-to-install-myeclpse-9-0-under-suse-9-0/#post-317550
You seemed to install eclipse classic OK (yes, it is just an extract) but had trouble starting eclipse. Did you install Mozilla, through Yast, as I’d done in the post linked to above? Again, for me, eclipse classic installed and ran just fine, with the MyEclipse update site install appearing to work OK.
I don’t know why you are getting the “cannot execute binary file” error, since I can execute it fine. The only thing I can think of is that your system is a 64 bit system but the downloaded JDK is a 32 bit version. However, I can’t check this myself as I can’t find a 64 bit SuSE 9 distribution (the one I installed is 32 bit). This could possibly be a reason for many of the problems you’ve unfortunately had trying to install MyEclipse.
