回答1:

I have the same issue. solve it by add

<string>-vm</string><string>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_201.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</string>

to /Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/Info.plist

TL;DR

Use this to export JAVA_HOME variable:

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_231.jdk/Contents/Home

Long Version

This answer is wrt to BigSur v11.0.1 Beta. What I explored is if you have configured your .bash_profile JAVA_HOME export something like this

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)

Then it case it was trying to importing this, for some reason

/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home

rather than

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/**/Contents/Home

For the quick fix, I configured my JAVA_HOME like this

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_231.jdk/Contents/Home

If you are switching between multiple JVMs at once then you may find this .bashrc/.zshrc configuration handy

    export JAVA_8_HOME="jdk1.8.0_231.jdk"
    export JAVA_11_HOME="openjdk-11.0.2.jdk"
    export JAVA_13_HOME="jdk-13.0.1.jdk"
    
        
    alias java8='export JAVA_HOME="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/$JAVA_8_HOME/Contents/Home"'
    alias java11='export JAVA_HOME="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/$JAVA_11_HOME/Contents/Home"'
    alias java13='export JAVA_HOME="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/$JAVA_13_HOME/Contents/Home"'
    
    # default to Java 8
    java8

Edit the Info.plist to set the -vm value.

1. Install the latest Eclipse version, I am using version 2020-06
2. Right-click on Eclipse.app
3. Show Package Contents
4. Open Info.plist with a text editor
5. Add -vm/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_191.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java under the under the key Eclipse. Note - edit the path to Java depending on what version you have. You can see the list by running /usr/libexec/java_home -V

To fix this issue I deleted the openJDK VM and reinstalled it

1. Delete the openJDK folder from

   /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines

2. Reinstall openJDK from here

3. Open applications and right-click spring suite > Show Package Contents

4. Edit file Contents/info.plist. Add this

<string>-vm</string><string>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-14.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</string>

This should be inside the array tag inside eclipse key

回答5:

Same thing happened to me turns out when I ran echo $JAVA_HOME the directory has been replaced,

Doing a brand new export to the java home file seemed to do the trick, I used

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-8.jdk/Contents/Home/

Seemed to do the trick, note that your directory might be different I suggest tracing to your correct directory by using "/" then tab to trace the directories.

回答6:

I solved this by using Homebrew

brew cask install eclipse-java

回答7:

Confirmed, adding below to Infolplist worked. I have Oracle jdk 8 and updated the value below. -vm/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_202.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java

回答8:

In my case I'm using a old version IDE and it's dead, already add the JAVA_HOME variable, ini and list of eclipse and not working, also noticed virtualbox is dead also can start any VM.

-vm/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_251.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java

回答9:

I tried all solutions posted under this question; but none of them worked for me. Finally, I installed the latest version of Eclipse 2020-09 (4.17.0) to make it work.

回答10:

I upgraded to Big Sur a few days ago and also encountered this problem when I finally ran Eclipse this morning.

The latest Eclipse 2020-12 release includes its own JRE (!), thus I no longer experience "Failed to create the java virtual machine". I've left my Java versions unchanged for now as I only use Eclipse to create Tomcat webapps and do not run standalone Java.

$ /usr/libexec/java_home 
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home

$ /usr/libexec/java_home -V
