- 1). Identify which version of Eclipse you are running. Different versions of Eclipse require different versions of Java Virtual Machine. For example, Eclipse Europa might require JVM 1.5. Once you know which JVM you require, download it to your computer if you don't already have it.
- 2). Locate your Java bin directory. Look for it under your Java installation. For example: “/home/seedling/app/jre1.5.0/bin”.
- 3). Open up a command-line terminal.
- 4). Navigate to the folder in which Eclipse is installed using the "cd" command.
For example, depending on your configuration, you might type:
cd /home/seedling/app/eclipse - 5). Type the following on the command line:
./eclipse -vm /home/mark/app/jre1.5.0_10/bin
Note that “-vm” is the flag for specifying your JVM location for Eclipse. Press “Enter” to send the configuration command to Eclipse.
