    • Eclipse JAVA 1.8 MacBook OSX

    Posted by jgelectronicsnl on 2017-02-11 12:35

    Hi, I installed Eclipse on my MacBook if I start up the SystemWorkbench.app I get the error:

    Version 1.6.0_65 of the JVM is not suitable for this product.
    Version: 1.7 or greater is required.

    On my MacBook I have JAVA 1.8.
    Does Eclipse works with JAVA version 1.8 or do I need version JAVA 1.7?

    I run OSX version 10.12.3 and XCODE version 8.2.1.

    thanks,

    John

    Hi John,

    I'm daily working with Eclipse and Java8 and I confirm it works 😊

    EDIT: you probably have several Java installed on your Macbook, and Eclipse picks the wrong (1.6.0_65).
    Have a look on this thread and check if the tips solves your issue: System Workbench for STM32 failed to run on Mac OS X (solved 😀)

    The problem was not JAVA1.8 that was installed but the JAVA JDK.
    JAVA was uodated to version 1.8 but the JAVA JDK was still version 1.6. With the terminal command:

    $ /usr/libexec/java_home -V

    it shows the following:

    JgMacBookPro:~ johngeelen$ /usr/libexec/java_home -V
    Matching Java Virtual Machines (2):
    1.6.0_65-b14-468, x86_64: "Java SE 6" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.6.0_65-b14-468, i386: "Java SE 6" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home

    After updating the JDK to version 1.8 from the JAVA websit:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

    Eclipse works!

    Thanks for the information,

    John
