Error With Eclipse

I installed Eclipse using the "Install Software" option in the "Computer" menu. When I run it, though, I get this error:

JVM terminated. Exit code=1
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-cacao-0.97/jre/bin/java

I don't know what any of this means.

I'm not sure either, although a few weeks ago I had a problem with eclipse that had an exit code of 1 as well. I _think_ that it might be a result of you using a JVM that does not match the one used to compile the openSuse package.

It looks like you are using 1.4. Try installing 1.6, and give it a go again.

If that is not an option, you can download eclipse, decompress it in its own directory, and run it from there.
