I have installed FreeBSD 7. I used portsnap to fetch extract and update all the ports, then did a pkgdb -F. After resolving all the dependencies, I installed gnome2, diablo jdk from the freebsd foundation
http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/ and then tried to install eclipse from ports (make install clean) which completed succesfuly. When I try to start up eclipse I am getting a pop up window with this message:
JVM terminated. Exit code=1
/usr/local/bin/java
-Xms40m
-Xmx256m
-jar /usr/local/eclipse/startup.jar
-os freebsd
-ws gtk
-arch amd64
-launcher /usr/local/eclipse/eclipse
-name Eclipse
-showsplash 600
-exitdata 6000a
-vm /usr/local/bin/java
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx256m
-jar /usr/local/eclipse/startup.jar
I found out that this might be a Java heap problem, so I modified the eclipse.ini file. The instructions were on this page:
http://javahowto.blogspot.com/2006/0...java-heap.html
under the heading:
How to set java heap size in Eclipse?
But this did not change the out come.
Any help or suggestions on how to correct this.
