Eclipse is unable to open, have used eclipse before and has open before without a problem. Now I keep getting the following error message:

A Java Runt

Answer 1

If on Linux (ex: Ubuntu 18), try installing (or reinstalling in your case?) default-jre, as follows:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install default-jre

I had the same error when just trying to run the Eclipse installer (./eclipse-inst) on a fresh Eclipse download just now, and the installer wouldn't even run! Installing default-jre solved it!
