Still trying to get Eclipse IDE to work and running into Incompatible JVM error. I followed the steps here: But unfortunately to no effect. Running OSX 10.9.5 and uninstalled the out-of-the-box version of Mac. The new version of Java seems to show up in the System Preferences. Please see attached screen capture. I've even done some of the basics like restart my computer, etc. Maybe there are other modifications I need to make to other files.
My understanding is that there is a Java version of the server. This will serve to any system that is running Java version of Minecraft. XBox, Win10 ( which can run the java version as well ), Switch, iOS, ect run another version of the Minecraft server. Someday in the far future I can imagine them all combining, but at the moment not now.
I'm comfortable with Terminal but new to Eclipse and Java. Thanks in advance!
I have had the same problem as noted above. I could not get Eclipse to install because of Java incompatibilities.
The sequence I followed goes like this:. Upgraded to MAC OS Sierra. Downloaded the Eclipse installer but was prompted that I needed to instal a legacy Java. Installed Java 1.6.
Was unable to install Eclipse and was prompted that I needed Java 1.7 or greater. Downloaded and installed Java 1.8. Ran the terminal code 'java -version' // this will check your jre version. This showed returned Java 1.6 despite the fact that I had upgraded to 1.8. The Java version listed in the Java control panel said 1.8. Tried multiple downloads of eclipse and Java and multiple restarts always with the same result. Visited the Oracle web page noted above: I could not find the above reference to 8u73 and 8u74 but I did find and option to download 1.8.012.
It installed without difficulty, and then I was able to install Eclipse without difficulty. This took hours of my time. I hope this proves useful. Open up terminal and check what java version is currently set in your path variable. You can do that by typing in your terminal java -version // this will check your jre version. Javac -version // this will check your compiler version If this shows incorrect java version but you have installed java 1.8 then you have to set path variable to the newer version of java.
To do that do add the line: export JAVAHOME=/path/to/java/jdk1.x to /.bashprofile (same as /Users/username/.bashprofile) Then do this from the terminal to set the new variable source /.bashprofile Also what's your eclipse.ini set to? -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7 EDIT: Please open up terminal and type find / -name 'java' // This should find all folder named java on your file system. Also how did you install java in the first place?
