Can't get Eclipse Kepler CheckStyle plugin to work - eclipse

I am downloading it from here: http://eclipse-cs.sourceforge.net/update/
- Checkstyle version 6.2.0.20150
My eclipse build is: 4.3.2
I have tried downloading it from both the marketplace and the website above, though both ways do not create a "checkstyle" link in the preferences window.
Anyone have any idea what's going on here?

I've also encountered the mentioned problem. But the reason is simple. In the release notes we can read:
Please note that as of this version Java 7 is the minimum runtime
environment supported. This requires you to run Eclipse on a Java 7
(or newer) JVM in order to use this plugin version.
Checkstyle since version 6.2.0 (released in January 2015) needs Java 7 as the minimum runtime environment.
So in order to run Eclipse on a Java 7, you can for example edit eclipse.ini file and add at the beginning something like:
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_75\bin\javaw.exe
Your exact path to javaw.exe could be different, of course. Alternatively make JDK 7 (or newer) as the default JVM for your system.

NetBeans 8.2 does not open on Mac OS

I am trying to start NetBeans 8.2 on a Macbook Pro and it's not working.
It shows the splash screen, then after a while it shuts down without starting anything.
Running from the command-line I can see this error:
Oct 02, 2017 7:40:28 PM org.netbeans.ProxyURLStreamHandlerFactory register

Looks like Java 9 got bundled with it and it's causing an error. The documentation implies that NetBeans 8.2 uses JDK 8!?
How to use my own java to run NetBeans, or how to get NetBeans to start without this error?
Yes, NetBeans 8.2 does use JDK 1.8, and specifically does not support JDK 1.9.
It's unclear from the OP which version of Java is desired to run with NetBeans, but the version of NetBeans to use is governed by the version of Java to be used:
[1] For Java 8, use Netbeans 8.2. Note that Java 9 is not supported. You can download NetBeans 8.2 bundled with JDK 8u141 for Mac OS here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/javase/jdk-netbeans-jsp-142931.html
Once it has been installed it no specific configuration for Java should be necessary.
[2] For Java 9 you must use a Development Build of NetBeans. That can be downloaded from http://bits.netbeans.org/download/trunk/nightly/latest/ but be sure that Mac OS X is selected from the Platform drop list before clicking Download.
For any version of NetBeans you can specify your own version of Java as follows:
Start NetBeans and select Java Platforms from the Tools menu.
Click the Add Platform... button.
Complete the wizard to locate the version of Java you want to use.
One final point: there is no problem having multiple versions of NetBeans installed and running concurrently using different JDKs, typically NetBeans 8.2 with JDK 1.8 and NetBeans Dev Build with JDK 1.9.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Update:
If NetBeans closes itself down on startup it may have an invalid JDK path. To change the JDK that NetBeans uses:
Locate the file netbeans.conf. It should be in the etc directory under the NetBeans installation directory.
Edit that file in a text editor. Locate the line containing the property netbeans_jdkhome. On my Windows 10 installation it looks like this:
netbeans_jdkhome="C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_121"
Change the value for that property to specify the path to the desired JDK, save the file and restart NetBeans.
As pointed in the comments:
I had tried to set netbeans_jdkhome in /Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans\ 8.2.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf to point to JDK 10, but still it did not work.
I had to install JDK 8, and set netbeans_jdkhome="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_181.jdk/Contents/Home"
Uninstalling JDK 10 and using JDK 8 worked for me and setting netbeans_jdkhome="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_181.jdk/Contents/Home" worked quite well.
macOS 10.13.5
JavaJDK 10 installed as "System" JVM
I was able to install NetBeans, but unable to get it to function. Window would open, clicking on "New Project" or "New File" did absolutely nothing.
Was able to get it working (all modules and servers) by going into the configuration file at
/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 8.2.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf
and editing the commented out path to JDK at the bottom of the file!
Cheers!
Check Java JDK is installed on Mac, NetBeans 8.2 does use JDK 1.8(Java SE 8)
/usr/libexec/java_home -V
Matching Java Virtual Machines (2):
12.0.1, x86_64: "Java SE 12.0.1" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-12.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home
1.8.0_211, x86_64: "Java SE 8" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_211.jdk/Contents/Home
if not , just install (no need remove exist JDK)
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
modify /Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 8.2.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf
netbeans_jdkhome="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_211.jdk/Contents/Home"
For NetBeans 8.2 JDK 1.8 should be used. If you installed JDK 1.9 or JDK 10.0 to your MacBook, you must uninstall that from your computer.
I had the same issue. I'm using Apache Netbeans 12.0 so I had to change my OpenJDK version from 19.0 to 14.0 and update the path in order to finally work.
No need to uninstall the 19.0, just install the version that works with the Apache that you have and update the path:
netbeans_jdkhome="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk14.0.jdk/Contents/Home"

version 1.7 of the jvm is not suitable for this product. version 1.8 greater is required for eclipse nano in window

I am trying to launch Eclipse Nano in Windows 7, but getting the error:
Version 1.7 of the JVM is not suitable for this product. version 1.8 greater is required for Eclipse Nano in Windows
I already have Java 8 installed on the system
Simply download 1.8 JDK from Java SE Development Kit 8 Downloads install it, then copy the jre folder & paste it in:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EclipseNeon\"
Then rename the folder to "jre", start the eclipse again it should work.
sudo /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --config java
and select the jvm 1.8
I faced the same issue (Windows 10). You need to set the "JAVA_HOME" system environment variable to point to JDK 8 folder and edit the "Path" system environment variable to have a new path to JRE 8's bin folder, this should be at the top of the list.
I too got the same error while installing
Possible reason for the error - The eclipse version, you are installing and the Java version should be of same bit, i.e. either 32 bit or 64 bit
Solution: I have downloaded both the java for 64 bit and 32 bit and installed, now my problem is gone.
Please let me know if it works for you.
When you download the latest eclipse, and extract it, you can find the folder named eclipse-installer with eclipse-inst file inside it. Instead of double-clicking it to start installation, just navigate to the folder in terminal and run ./eclipse-inst command. It does the entire installation for you. It worked for me and hope who also got the same problem(version 1.7 of the jvm is not suitable for this product. version 1.8 greater is required) gets solved. :)
On a Windows system I had the same problem.
Although I had only Java 1.8 installed, I found that I also had a 1.7 upgrade file installed too (which didn't get uninstalled automatically when I installed 1.8).
Uninstalling this upgrade file allowed me to install Eclipse IDE.
I had the same issue and I had a different solution to this problem.
Though I set the JAVA_HOME to 1.8 (Both through CMD and environment variables), the error was persisting.
So I opened CMD prompt, typed:
java - version
to find out 1.7 was the version my system was set to. Until then I had no clue from where it was fetching this version.
And then I changed it to 1.8 using this command:
set path=C:\.....eclipse\jdk1.8.0_141-b15\bin
AND IT WORKED!
Recheck if it is set to 1.8 with the same command:
java -version
You should be good to go now!
if it's a 64-bit Eclipse. You'll need to explicitly download and install the 64-bit Java 8 or later.
download it from here

tips for windows users
Version 1.7 of the JVM is not suitable for this product. version 1.8
greater is required
user get above error message because they had multiple jdk version or they do not have latest version of jdk installed , even if you install latest version of jdk and you if you have not removed old version of jdk like 1.7 you will get the above error message , so better to get rid of old version of jdk and jre etc.
-> ignore this step if you have insallted latest version of jdk already
download 32 or 64 bit latest jdk from : https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
-> go to C:\Program Files\Java and look for old version of jdk , let say if you have 1.7 versions of jdk delete them so that you are left only with latest version , you can remove old versions of jre too here just by deleting.
-> next run eclipse you will not get v1.7 message
Find the JVM
If a JVM is installed in the eclipse/jre directory, Eclipse will use it; otherwise the launcher will consult the eclipse.ini file and the system path variable. Eclipse DOES NOT consult the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
To explicitly specify a JVM of your choice, you can use the -vm command line argument:
eclipse -vm c:\jre\bin\javaw.exe ''start Java by executing the specified java executable
eclipse -vm c:\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll ''start Java by loading the jvm in the eclipse process
Go to Eclipse directory, find and open eclipse.ini configuration file then modify below parameter to your desired version, it will work.
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8
It worked for me
Eclipse will consider the version that is mentioned in eclipse.ini file, this error
means that your installed java version (in environment variable) and the mentioned java
version in eclipse.ini file is not matching.
You may just change the java version there (it will be in eclipse-installation-dir).
Change the property as below:-
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=
Updating below line in eclipse.ini worked for me
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8
Two things:
Check this question here as it's similar and has some good pointers Eclipse - no Java (JRE) / (JDK) ... no virtual machine
Also, get the latest JRE and JDK from Oracle vs from java.com http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Today I meet the same question. I download the file that named "eclipse-inst-linux64.tar.gz". When I open the eclipse, it shows "Version 1.7.0_121 of the JVM is not suitable for this product. Version: 1.8".Then execute
cd /usr/bin/
sudo ln -s /Your_JAVA_PATH /usr/bin/java
Then you can install eclipse.
Make sure java and eclipse versions are same(32bit or 64bit)
Try running eclipse-installer as administrator(this worked for me)
If you need to skip this step just simply change Required Version number, ex:
open with any text editor instalation path/AptanaStudio3.ini
and change
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8 to -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7
This is just for skipping this step.
I had both 1.7 and 1.8 in path and 1.7 was on top and 1.8 below in Pah, so i moved 1.7 below 1.8, thats it it worked.
Go to Oracle's website and download the newest version of Java JDK. (https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html)
Install the program on your computer.
Remove all old environment variables related to Oracle and Java.
Set the environment variables related to the new installation all the way to the bin folder. (include the bin folder in the environment variables section)

Eclipse error 'UseStringDeduplication'

I installed a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 VM, Oracle JDK 7, and downloaded the latest Eclipse. But I am getting this error when I try to start Eclipse:
Unrecognized VM option 'UseStringDeduplication'
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
Why am I getting this error on a fresh install? And is it a bad idea to remove that VM option?
Latest version of Eclipse (Neon) requires Java 8 runtime, and the Eclipse website obnoxiously neglects to mention it anywhere from the homepage to the download link for Eclipse, not even a version warning at runtime for Eclipse.
Same error for me in Kubuntu 14.04, eclipse Neon,
I Removed -XX:+UseStringDeduplication from .ini file, it works for me
I know, i'm little to late to the party. I got this issue lately on my Mac. I updated my eclipse (from Mars to Oxygen) all of the sudden i couldn't start my old project. First i thought, this must have something to do with the new eclipse, which wasn't all wrong. Because eclipse.ini file of Oxygen expected java-1.8.
I updated my java to latest (jdk1.8.0_152.jdk), but the problem remained, than i removed these parameters from the eclipse.ini, still was the same, i checked the "Run Configurations" and basically removed the same parameters from the arguments list. Now my projects seem to work just fine. I also needed to restore the platform, since Oxygen use e.4-platform.
Remove these parameters from eclipse.ini file
Select the project and go to "Run As"->"Run Configurations..."-> "Arguments" check the old configurations under "VM arguments" (it can be a product in case of an RCP-project)
removed the VM-option(s)(actually, they can be more) not recognized and "Apply"-> "Run".
I got the same error when I have installed Java 8 and Java 9 in my Ubuntu 16.04. My eclipse version was Neon. As https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Installation#Eclipse_4.6_.28Neon.29 describes to start specific eclipse ide you need relevant JDK. For neon, it was Java 8. Since I installed Java 9 using apt-get it was the default JDK. so I have to change the default JDK to Java 8.
You can check which java version used in system-wide with
java -version
`If you want to see which are the versions of JDK installed in Ubuntu then run below command in shell.
sudo update-java-alternatives --list
Then choose which version you want to set. After that run below command.
sudo update-java-alternatives --set [JDK/JRE name e.g. java-8-oracle]
Now run again Eclipse. if the version was the reason to conflict, it will run now. Referred by http://menukanows.com/how-to-set-a-default-jdk-version-in-ubuntu/
String Deduplication – A new feature in Java 8 Update 20
It means you should nt java 1.8 updated later or equal 20.
I faced the same issue on Eclipse Oxygen in Ubuntu.
Tried:
Checking java version (It was already at 1.8.0 so according to the accepted answer, it should work.)
Removing -XX:+UseStringDeduplication from .ini file
Still didn't solve the problem. Then I saw #simgineer's comment:
In my case this was for eclipse oxygen. I had an older version of java
8 installed (jdk1.8.0_05) when I upgraded to the latest (jdk1.8.0_151)
and updated my eclipse.ini to point to the latest as well (since it is
recorded in there during installation) eclipse oxygen started working.
Solution:
Updated JDK from 1.8.0 to jdk1.8.0_231 and it got resolved.
Voila! I didn't have to update anything in my eclipse.ini .

How Do I make the Install4j IDE to upgrade to Java7 instead of Java6

I have upgraded to Java7 recently.
I had my install4j Project file in Java6.
Now in the Install4j IDE, I go to Media wizard and download 1.7 JRE's and select them for Windows. (I have window 7 64 bit.)
But When I go the Installer tab in IDE , where for some of the screens I have my custom code which is compiled in Java7.
It gives an error for the IDE java version lower than the compiled version(for those class files).
The Common Location where is the JRE for 1.6 was downloaded C:\Program Files\Common Files\i4j_jres
But the JREs for 1.7 somehow are never downloaded in the common location.
How Do I make the Install4j IDE to upgrade to Java7 instead of Java6.
Thanks
Sony
We had the same problem as you, so we just swapped out install4j's built-in JRE with the one we used to compile our custom code.
i.e. - replace "C:\Program Files\install4j5\jre" with the jre you use to build your custom actions.
Under General Settings->Java version, change the minimum version to 1.7

How to add JDK 7 in compiler list in eclipse

I have installed the JDK7 on my machine and I want it to add in the list of compiler
I have tried adding JDK 7 in the list of installed JRE but it is still not appearing in the list of compiler compliance level.
Could any one tell me how can I add JDK 7 into new compliance level.
Eclipse uses its own compiler (see What is the difference between javac and the Eclipse compiler?), so you won't find it if you use an old version of Eclipse (as probably your RSA is based on). Java 7 support is available for Eclipse 3.7.1 or higher (at the moment current stable is 4.2).
However, if you want to keep that version of Eclipse, you can create a new Builder using your JDK7 as base. To do this, go to Project and add a new Builder specifying where the javac is and the other options.
Look also at this question: Eclipse 3.5 and Java 7
Looks like you have to use the 3.8 version of eclipse to get Java 7 support. But I noticed that some later versions of 3.7.x might have it too.
See this for features:
