Error in Installing/Running Eclipse on Linux Mint

Post by tryingToBeBrave »

Dear To Whom It May Concern:

I tried downloading and installing Eclipse for Linux on Linux Mint. I received the following error message when I clicked the Eclipse icon to run the software:

An error has occurred. See the log file
/home/luke/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.8_155965261/configuration/1550350820317.log

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The log file says:

!SESSION Sat Feb 16 16:00:20 EST 2019 ------------------------------------------
!ENTRY org.eclipse.equinox.launcher 4 0 2019-02-16 16:00:20.340

May some one please help me with this? I am new to Linux Mint, and I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you!

I hope you downloaded the correct version 64 bit if your machine is 64 bit. And for Linux Windows package would be different
If I have helped you solve a problem, please add [SOLVED] to your first post title, it helps other users looking for help.

Dear Deepakdeshp,

Thank you for your post. That was a great thought. I did install the 64-bit version for my 64-bit machine and the Linux version of Eclipse for Linux Mint. However, I still have the same error.

Respectfully,
