I get this error from eclipse(installed on Ubuntu 13.04):

  • Which Java Runtime Environment version are you using? Have you tried using different versions? – snrlx Jul 10 '13 at 08:22

    i've got the last java version. I have updated java 2 days ago without problems.. I had eclipse opened and i never closed it. Yesterday i restarted eclipse and i got the error. At this point i think the problem is java.. Right? Do you think it's better try with java 6? – David_D Jul 10 '13 at 08:32

    This is at least what I would try. I tried googling for eclipse's exit code 8 and couldn't find valueable results, yet. – snrlx Jul 10 '13 at 08:43
  • Yeah me too. Seems i'm the only one with this error.. Wow.. – David_D Jul 10 '13 at 08:54
  • You are not entirely the only one I guess: http://pastebin.com/3ScQFxDR At least the person that pasted there also uses Linux but I can not interpret anything else from it. – snrlx Jul 10 '13 at 08:57
  • I think the first thing to try is a downgrade of java.. But from terminal it's not so simple.. Is it a rapid way? – David_D Jul 10 '13 at 09:05
  • I thought that you would just download an older version of Java and set the JAVA_HOME path to this version. – snrlx Jul 10 '13 at 09:21
  • Downloading Java or setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable? – snrlx Jul 10 '13 at 11:02
  • setting JAVA_HOME environment variable – David_D Jul 10 '13 at 12:43

It is probably because you are using incompatible JVMs. You probably ran an update the settings were changed in the background. This is what worked for me:

1) Run: sudo update-alternatives --config java

2) Choose a different JVM

It should need java files/resources to install

Type

1)java -version

if it shows not found...

then type

2)export PATH=/home/Desktop/jdk1.8.0_111/bin:$PATH

3)java -version

then it displays (java version "1.8.0_111" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode))

4)now try installing by typing ./eclipse after going to the path
