I work every day with eclipse. Since the update of my Os on my mac, I am not able to open eclipse. I get the following error:
'to open eclipse you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime'
So I click 'more info' and I try to install the legacy java SE 6 runtime
Installing eclipse on mac is not painful if you know how to Install Eclipse IDE on Mac OS Catalina. This video shows the detail step by step setup or Instal. If you see permgen errors when running Tomcat, edit the catalina.sh file on.NIX systems to assign the following options JAVAOPTS='-Xmx1024m -XX:NewSize=256m -XX:MaxNewSize=256m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m'. At org.apache.catalina.core.DefaultInstanceManager.loadClassMaybePrivileged(DefaultInstanceManager.java:507). Second is, Eclipse is not able to find this.
When I come to the desitnation select I can't install, I get the following error:
'Java for macOS 2017-001 can't be installed on this disk. A newer version of this package is already installed'.
So I unistalled Java, but this didn't helped the problem.
What can I do? I really need to open my eclipse again !
