App can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer

Question

I installed Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9) yesterday and since then I am not able to start my Eclipse. I am attaching a screenshot of the message I see.

Is there a workar

Answer 1

I had got the same error. Because of security reasons, I could not see option for allowing Apps downloaded from Anywhere in System preference-> Security Tab.

I removed the extended attribute from Zip file by below command.

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine [Zip file path] 

And then got below error:- org.eclipse.e4.core.di.InjectionException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/annotation/PostConstruct

Resolved it by uninstalling all different versions of java and installed just 1.8.0_231.

Worked finally.
