Few days ago I’ve installed via the packet manager ‘pamac’ the sw4stm32 from the AUR repository. After installing sw4stm32 started up normally, the ‘Select a directory as workspace’ pops up as always and after I’ve selected a workspace sw4stm32 crashed with the notice that I should check the .metadata/.log file.
Original message: An error has occurred. See the log file ..../.metadata/.log. [Close]
(log file contents see below)

With a parameter I’ve added to the command line to start sw4stm32 I can now run it. There are several tricks and hints out there which deals with the nearly the same problem (generally Eclipse based) with different solutions but nothing of these helped me. Finally I found out that I have to add the parameter -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/bin when I start sw4stm32 by the command line. Thus, to start sw4stm32 succesfully I have to run

$ sw4stm32 -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/bin

I suppose that there’s something missing in the eclipse.bin.ini file with adds the parameter -vm. It could be that on Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based installations this issue will not exist.

My Question I’ve left: Does someone know how I can fix this without touching the eclipse.bin.ini file? This file is only handled by the packet manager and will be overwritten without warning, so the changes could be gone after an update.

Additional, the contents of the log file after sw4stm32 crashed:
