Mac OS- Error - eclipse (JVM) while updating Catalina to Big Sur

 


Hi,

As you have received your new OS update Big Sur 11 from Catalina 10 

You might be facing issue of eclipse throwing an error "failed to create Java virtual machine".

This a bug already reported to the community and you will find many confusing solution to fix the issue

I'll explain you in simple steps how to fix this issue.


Press keys (command_shift+G) make sure while pressing these buttons your mouse is pointing on desktop   Go to folder, A window will open  where you have to enter. " /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines " and press Go

it will take you the version installed of JDK in your machine in my case it is jdk1.8.0_241.jdk shown as below


you need to find the eclipse installed in your system it can be under application(which can be found in Finder) in my case it was present in home directory under software folder

 
click on eclipse and go to "show package contents" 



Open "contents" folder check the file "info.pilst". open the file using : Text Edit




Go to end of the document  and check the commented section.


copy the code
<string>-vm</string><string>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</string>

update your JDK version here which was as shown above in screenshot (pasting it again) in my case it is  

jdk1.8.0_241.jdk

which will now make the string  

<string>-vm</string><string>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_241.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</string>

copy this code "above the commented section" and save

Go to your Terminal. open the bash file  as suggested in my first blog 
Open the bash file by entering command "open -e .bash_profile"

update Java Home path

export JAVA_Home =/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_241.jdk/Contents/Home

and save 




This will solve your issue.
you have to change the path of workspace and it will work fine.
