I have installed the java runtime in the window subsystem for Linux (Ubuntu), and the Vscode is installed on the windows 10 system.
I did not install java runtime in windows 10 system. When I use vscode to edit java, it usually pop up a notice says the "java runtime could not be located".
I have point the vscode "java.home" to the java jdk directory of window subsystem linux file folder, which is C:\\Users\\Myusername\\AppData\\Local\\Packages\\CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\\LocalState\\rootfs\\usr\\lib\\jvm\\. In the folder, it has:
java-8-openjdk-amd64 directory, and three files
.java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64.jinfo,
default-java
java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64.
But however, the vscode still pop out the notice that the java.home variable defined in VS Code settings does not point to a JDK.
Can anyone let me know how to set up the vs code properly so that it can locate the JDK file in the window subsystem for Linux (WSL)?
Thanks in advance.
It won´t work like this because you are trying to use a jdk builded for linux on windows.
It is the same as if you download the jdk for linux and try to execute on windows.
As for the solution, unfortunately there is no solution right now.
However you can call your java and javac directly on terminal using WSL
wsl javac
You can´t point the java_home using wsl.
Maybe in the future the guys from Microsoft can make the trick. I hope so.
I am using MobaXterm, a friendly Unix terminal that runs on Windows. I want to compile a simple Java program using the javac command. After looking at plenty of other forums, I know I need to use the path where Java is installed, but no matter what I try, I keep getting the error
javac command not found
on the terminal. Can someone please help me out with compiling basic Java programs from within their directory on a Unix terminal on Windows?
And yes, I have JDK for Windows installed on my computer, I just don't know how to use it when compiling through the terminal.
By default, MobaXterm does not preserve Windows PATH environment variable: this is why you obtain
command not found
when running javac.
In order to tell MobaXterm to preserve Windows PATH, you just have to go to Settings --> Configuration --> Terminal tab and check Append Windows PATH environment variable option.
You can try cygwin first of all. Is another terminal that runs on windows.
With this command 'sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk' at linux installs the jdk
And after this you can compile your program. sudo is for administration privilages.
So I have the latest version of JRE 7 on my computer, and everything is working fine. Lately, I've downloaded a program that requires JRE 6. I know where all of the files are located on my computer, all I'm asking is the .bat file code to run a specific version of Java with only that program. I am somewhat of a newbie when it comes to Windows and Java PATH structure, so
Stanford's computer science course has you use a modified version of Eclipse to code in Java, and it was created when Java was still in version 6. If you are familiar with this, then you may know of karel the robot, a Java application that opens in Eclipse. When I tried to run this, the Karel program did not appear; only a blank screen. I found a youtube video about using Karel and many of the people in the comments had been having this problem, and some said that using JRE 6 fixed it. Also on the installation instructions, it said to use JRE 1.6, but I thought it would work with JRE 7
you can call each java.exe directly.
You can create 2 batch file named java6.bat and java7.bat :
java6.bat
#echo off
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" %*
java7.bat
#echo off
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" %*
to call a program with jre6
java6 -jar helloworld.jar
and to call a program with jre7
java7 -jar helloworld.jar
If you mean this program then I had no problem launching it with java 7
However if you really need java 6 for operating it then you could write some .bat file like this:
#echo off
set JAVA_HOME=C:\oracle\jdk1.6
set MY_CLASSPATH=lib\karelj.jar;lib\silk.jar
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javaw.exe -cp %MY_CLASSPATH% karel.swingui.Main
I recently installed Ubuntu on my computer. (I'm new to Ubuntu as well).
I have eclipse, JRE & JDK installed and working on my Windows previously. I also have Wine installed on Ubuntu.
My question is that is there any way I can run eclipse on ubuntu without reinstalling the JRE and JDK?
I tried changing the -vm directory to the correct JRE folder (...\Java\JRE7\bin\java.exe). Eclipse launched, but then it says Java returns exit code = 1, and exit.
Thanks in advance.
Why would you ever try to run the JVM on Wine? It'll be slow, unreliable, and blow up every time JNI is used. I suggest you install the necessary packages (openjdk-7-jdk should be fine) and use those.
You might be able to do this, but I would suggest you just install the JDK directly in Ubuntu with
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
(from memory). You will also need a Linux Eclipse.
Installed Java SE 1.7.0u10 from Oracle w/ their installer package
Downloaded and unpacked Eclipse Juno (4.2.1)
Double click Eclipse purple icon and get OS X alert prompt with error message:
To open "Eclipse," you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to
install one now?
(in terminal) which java - /usr/bin/java
ls -l /usr/bin/java - /usr/bin/java -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java
(in Finder) Double click eclipse alias (included when unpacked download) - Terminal launches, /Applications/Eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse ; exit ; and Exclipse launches without OS X alert prompt.
I've tried modifying the Eclipse app bundle plist to point the -vm key to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.frameworks/Versions/Current/Commands/java, but I feel like I probably shouldn't have to do this.`
I'd like to know how to get Eclipse to launch by just double clicking on the Application package. It's such a small thing to bug me... :o)
The best answer is to fix the Java 7 installation as shown here :
https://stackoverflow.com/a/19594116
Simple to do and I have confirmed it works on Mavericks. With this fix, you can launch your app from the launchpad as usual. If you upgrade your JDK, you will have to reapply the fix to the new installation.
I had JDK 7 installed and I solved this issue for eclipse Kepler by running eclipse from the terminal instead of the finder.
./eclipse
Just thought to share.
Update 1
For the sake of completeness, if you want to run it from Finder as well, you can wrap the ./eclipse command into a .command file and run it from Finder (so that you don't have to open a terminal)
The following lines should do the job (don't forget to replace "your-full-eclipse-path" with the eclipse path on your machine)
#!/bin/sh
/your-full-eclipse-path/eclipse
After that, give execute permission to the eclipse.command file you just created
chmod +x eclipse.command
I found the answer over on Ask Different
It's an ugly hack, but works perfectly.
posted on this page: Mountain Lion with Java 7 only
To trick OS X to accept Java 7 instead of proposing to install Java 6 a simple symlink is enough:
sudo mkdir /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk
Most Java Programs will run with this little hack without the need to install Java 6. OS X's Java Preferences (and maybe some others) will not as it seems to explicitly check the version of the JVM when it is started.
script above can fix my problem.
Hoping you are using 64-bit of Java SE 1.7.0 and so advising the following.
go to Eclipse->Preferences...->Java->Installed JREs
click Add...
Select Standard VM
paste /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk/Contents/Home into JRE home
Change the JRE name to something useful like Java SE 7
Click Finish
Check the check-box next to your newly created JRE.
You would need a restart.
For what it's worth, the Eclipse team seems to have worked around it by replacing their dlopen()-based method with a CFBundleCreate()-based one: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=411361
In case anybody has the same problem in their code that launches Java and does not want to resort to Apple-only APIs, I found an easier work-around: before dlopen()ing $JRE_HOME/lib/server/libjvm.dylib, make sure to open dlopen() $JRE_HOME/lib/jli/libjli.dylib. Then it won't ask to install Java 6.
Can you imagine that? You have to install a JDK 1.6 to get eclipse ran properly, even if you already have jdk 1.7 installed, and set the JAVA_HOME properly.
To resolve your issue, you just need to download the jdk1.6 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?viewlocale=en_US, and install it, later you will be able to run eclipse, and you can set the JAVA_HOME to JDK1.7, and you will be able to find the JDK1.7 from eclipse "Preferences".
All these hacks does not work on mac Mavericks,
But a simple and efficient solution is found here
it worked with me like a charm.
Note: a drawback of this solution is when you check your java version using "java -version" command, it will read Java 1.6
open /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdkXXXXX.jdk/Contents/Info.plist
settting(<string>BundledApp</string> is usefull!):
<key>JVMCapabilities</key>
<array>
<string>JNI</string>
<string>BundledApp</string>
<string>WebStart</string>
<string>Applets</string>
<string>CommandLine</string>
</array>
I had the exact same message when setting up a new mac and trying to run eclipse 4.2.2 with only Java SE 7 installed (as part of JDK 7u17).
In order to be able to successfully launch Eclipse I had to let OSX download and install Apple's Java SE 6 runtime first before installing the latest JDK.
After installing the JDK, the command java -version correctly shows:
java version "1.7.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_17-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
Trying to solve the problem the other way around didn't work -- i.e. installing JDK 7u17 first before installing Java SE 6 as suggested in the message.
I had the exactly same problem some days ago and I solved it today. Just installed this http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572
And after that, when I opened the eclipse the OSX installed some java update and opening eclipse by Eclipse.app started working.
Hope it works with you too.
If you'd like to install Java 6 JDK only (no Java 7 JDK/JRE, no Java 6 JRE only), install the Apple OSX Java DMG (at time of writing, this was http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/java_for_os_x_2013003_developer_package/java_for_os_x_2013003_dp__11m4406.dmg).
You still won't be able to start Eclipse. Make a directory JavaVirtualMachines under /System/Library/Java. And then make an Alias of the java version folder at /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines and rename the alias 1.6.0.jdk and copy that alias to /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/
After finished, you will have an Alias at /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk that points to the Java install directory at */Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_XX-XXX-XXX.jdk*
Install latest JDK from Sun, it installs into /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/, e.g. /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_40.jdk
sudo mkdir /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_40.jdk/ /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk
========= this trick used to work on Mountain Lion, but not on Maverick 10.9 somehow ============
Tried this again on Maverick, it does not work anymore. I also tried to change eclipse app plist and eclipse.ini (by adding -vm or ), does not work either.
Some people suggested that this is caused by Eclipse binary prepared using Apple 1.6 appbundler instead of Oracle java7 appbundler: Application is using Java 6 from Apple instead of Java 7 from Oracle on Mac OS X?
For now, please just type the eclipse from command line, which works fine with JAVA_HOME set to Java 7 (/usr/libexec/java_home command will tell you)
How to Make Eclipse Run on OS X 10.9 Mavericks
Attempting to launch various Eclipse versions after the Mavericks upgrade pops up a dialog with this message:
To open "Eclipse.app" you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install one now?
It turns out that Java 7 is disabled by default in OS X 10.9.
This is easily verified as follows:
$ java --version
No Java runtime present, requesting install.
The solution is to install the latest supported Java version from Apple support: Java for OS X 2013-005 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572)
As of 10/15/13 this would be Java SE 6 1.6.0_65.

After the install, Eclipse will run as expected from the Dock, the Finder, or the Terminal without any tricks, hacks, or work-arounds.
I wanted to run Eclipse itself with Java 7. As I have a couple of plugins that do not work without it. For me neither solution worked for 10.9, but I found a workaround. The main idea is that you start eclipse with java -jar launcher.jar and provide a couple of magic properties and then it starts. This guy provided the command line script in comments that works for me:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=411361#c25
I found the same problem (Mac OS X 10.9.2, Java 1.7.0_53b13, Eclipse Kepler). The workaround was quite easy:
Find the executable in Finder (CMD+Click on Eclipse's icon in the Dock)
Remove the icon from the Dock
CTRL+Click on the executable in Finder
ALT+Open (to allow the execution of a non-signed application)
Eclipse opens normally and without any problem
Re-dragged the program onto the Dock
I had this problem and found that I did not have JDK installed on my Mac. Once I did that, Eclipse starts normally.
I had same problem.
First of all ; JDK(java development Kit) and JRE(Java Runtime Environment) are different things. It was confused by people
In order to install eclipse yo should install latest JDK . So
Visit
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
Download suitable version for your mac
You can check your version now ; it won't be 1.6 anymore
Try to install eclipse again , see it works.
Good luck!..
