Where's the location of the eclipse.ini file?

Question

I know this is a silly question, but I can\'t seem to locate the eclipse.ini file for the IDE. I\'ve looked in my installation directory as well as searched for the file its

Answer 1

It should be right beside the executable.

Answer 2

In Linux

I give you three possible methods:

• The most effective method is using the command locate. Write in terminal

  locate eclipse.ini

• Apart from that, as said in @JoeC answer, it should be in the same directory as the eclipse executable. A link to the eclipse executable is found in /usr/bin , therefore typing in terminal following command will show you the directory of the executable

  ls -l /usr/bin | grep 'eclipse'

• The last option is to find the executable directory by following the icon in your Menu Editor (but I think that depends highly on your Linux flavour)

Answer 3

For MacOs Users:

• Search for Eclipse in finder.
• Right-click or secondary click or Control-click on Eclipse App as shown on the picture. Click on "Show package contents"
• you can find the eclipse.ini under Contents>Eclipse folder.
