After upgrading eclipse to the updates-testing version, I was unable to run it with an alternate VM. This problem does not occur if I leave off the -vm command line argument. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): eclipse-platform-3.1.1-1jpp_1fc.FC4.8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install JDK 1.5 into /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0 2. eclipse -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0/bin/java Actual results: Unable to access jarfile startup.jar and then "JVM terminated. Exit code=1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0/bin/java -jar startup.jar -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86_64 -launcher /usr/bin/eclipse -name Eclipse -showsplash 600 -exitdata bb000d -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0/bin/java -vmargs -jar startup.jar" Expected results: Normal startup
I can duplicate this. Igor?
Weird, if I run with --vm it works, if I run with -vm it fails similarly. Investigating...
OK, that's because --vm doesn't do anything, I'll try figure out what's causing this.
This is fixed in updates-testing with eclipse-platform-3.1.1-1jpp_1fc.FC4.11.
