Eclipse not launching for MacOS Sierra. Sometimes with eclipse you have to un-package the tar files directly into your Applications folder in order for it install properly. Simply dragging/copying the eclipse folder into your Applications directly will not work from time to time. Installing Eclipse. Here’s a handy reference on where to get Eclipse for the Mac. Version 3.7 (“Indigo”) installs nicely in Lion and seems to work okay, but our household hasn’t put it to.
A simple Google search stating 'eclipse in mac installation' gave me the following page: The following are the contents of the page, excluding pictures, treated to conform to actual information: Note that the tutorial assumes you're using Eclipse as a Java IDE. If you use Eclipse for any other programming language, adapt as needed. Go to to download a copy of eclipse. Search for 'Eclipse IDE for Java Developers'. On the right is a green, downward-pointing arrow. Next to that are links labeled 'Mac OS X 32 Bit' and 'Mac OS X 64 Bit.' Click on the 'Mac OS X 32 Bit' link.
(Even if you have nice, new 64-bit Mac, it should run the 32-bit version just fine.) After pressing the download button a page will appear telling you what is the location from where you are downloading a file (usually it is a fileserver or an academic institution hosting the file). Press the download button (a green arrow pointing downwards) and download the package. The download will go to your Downloads folder. You will normally have an icon for the Downloads folder on the right-hand side of the dock.
Find your downloaded package folder in your Downloads folder, and drag it to the Desktop. Then double-click it.
You will see a folder named 'eclipse'. Drag the 'eclipse' folder into your Applications folder. The easiest way to do so is to open a new window in the Finder and click on Applications in the list you get on the left-hand side.
Then drag the 'eclipse' folder in with the other applications. Make sure that you do not drag it into a folder that's already within Applications. In other words, when you're done, the Applications folder should have directly within it a folder named 'eclipse'. (This step is not required, but it's strongly recommended.) Double click the 'eclipse' folder. You'll see an application named 'Eclipse'; it has a purple icon with white horizontal stripes. Drag it into your dock.
Now you will be able to launch Eclipse by clicking on the icon in the dock. You may now drag your downloaded package folder to the Trash. Empty the Trash whenever you wish. When you launch Eclipse for the first time, you'll be asked 'Eclipse' is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?' Click 'Open.'
. You'll see a window asking where your workspace is located. You can choose whatever place you want for your workspace, but it's easiest to just use the default you're given.
I recommend that you just click the checkbox next to 'Use this as the default and do not ask again' and then click 'OK.' . Click on the folded-over arrow on the right. You won't see this screen again, even if you quit Eclipse and relaunch it. Now you'll see a screen with lots of buttons and panes, but nothing of consequence.
You have now installed Eclipse! After sometime trying to do the same, I made some changes in the eclipse.ini file, and they worked. Hours later, I found this link, with the instructions to do that (the same changes I did on my own): Basically: In the Terminal, go to the eclipse uncompressed folder and do the following:. edit Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini and replace both lines starting with./././plugins to make them start with./plugins. mv Eclipse.app /Applications. mv.
/Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS.
I have brand new 2016 MacBook running the latest MacOS Sierra and I'm trying to install Eclipse Luna for building one of our Legacy Applications. On my personal 2013 Macbook running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 I was able to simply download the eclipse tar and unpackaged it, open the eclipse folder, click the Eclipse.app and it launched perfectly. However, on my work laptop, I have downloaded the exact same eclipse tar and unpacked it, but when I launch Eclipse.app I immediately get an error saying 'Eclipse has quit unexpectedly' If I open the package contents of Eclipse.app and go to Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/ and run the eclipse.exe located there, then it will open a terminal window and launch Eclipse normally. I have never encountered this before and cannot find any good references to this issue online. Is anyone aware of what the cause might be? I have JDK 6 and 8 installed at /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ 1.6.0.jkd & jdk1.8.0121.jdk.
