I installed 12.04 xubuntu and latest eclipse. Java is also installed. path is set correctly. but there are two things strange to me.
- when I double click the eclipse executable, it says cannot find java;
- create a launcher on the desktop, it says the same thing as above;**
open a terminal, type eclipse
, it will start eclipse without any error. type java
in terminal also shows java is installed and available to the system.
I suspect you need to use update-alternatives to get the links to default locations in order. Your edits to .bashrc aren't applied unless you run in a terminal.
Alternately, you could make a bash script to run your bashrc and then eclipse and use that as your launcher target.
Maybe this question is duplicated and the following link can help:
