You have the option of viewing one location or mix several cameras or locations on one screen. You can watch your office in Miami while also monitoring your branch in Phoneix. You choose the views you want and set favorites to easily start monitoring your cameras. View 1, 4, 9 or 16 cameras at a time. I just downloaded Eclipse for OS X. I managed to run it, but I want to put it directly in /Applications. I don't want to place the eclipse folder, which has inside it the Eclipse.app, inside /Applications, but I want to place a shortcut to Eclipse.app directly into /Applications (so I can run eclipse with one click, as if it was any other app inside /Applications).

- 2Specifying the JVM
- 2.3-vm value: macOS Example
Eclipse startup is controlled by the options in $ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse.ini
. If $ECLIPSE_HOME
is not defined, the default eclipse.ini
in your Eclipse installation directory (or in the case of Mac, the Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS
directory) is used.
eclipse.ini
is a text file containing command-line options that are added to the command line used when Eclipse is started up. There are many options available, please see here.
Important:
- You can, and should, experiment with changes to the launch command from your Command Prompt/Terminal before changing the
eclipse.ini
itself. - Each option and each argument to an option must be on its own line.
- All lines after
-vmargs
are passed as arguments to the JVM, so all arguments and options for eclipse must be specified before-vmargs
(just like when you use arguments on the command-line) - Any use of
-vmargs
on the command-line replaces all-vmargs
settings in the .ini file unless--launcher.appendVmargs
is specified either in the .ini file or on the command-line. (doc) - -XX VM arguments are subject to change without notice, even during minor updates. If the JVM keeps exiting with code 2 instead of starting Eclipse, try removing them.
- Make a backup--keep a copy of the original contents on hand so you don't break your installation and have to download it all again.
By default, eclipse.ini
looks something like this (the exact contents will vary based on operating system and which Eclipse package you have):
Among other things, this sets the heap space to 40MB initially and a maximum of 512MB, and also specifies a maximum PermGen size of 256MB. A max heap of 512MB might be OK for some users, but it's often necessary to bump that value up for large project sets or when some third-party plugins are installed.
One of the most recommended options to use is to specify a specific JVM for Eclipse to run on. Doing this ensures that you are absolutely certain which JVM Eclipse will run in and insulates you from system changes that can alter the 'default' JVM for your system. Many a user has been tripped up because they thought they knew what JVM would be used by default, but they thought wrong. eclipse.ini lets you be CERTAIN.
The following examples of eclipse.ini
demonstrate correct usage of the -vm option.
Note the format of the -vm
option - it is important to be exact:
- The
-vm
option and its value (the path) must be on separate lines. - The value must be the full absolute or relative path to the Java executable, not just to the Java home directory.
- The
-vm
option must occur after the other Eclipse-specific options (such as-product
,--launcher.*
, etc), but before the-vmargs
option, since everything after-vmargs
is passed directly to the JVM. - For the 32-bit Eclipse executable (eclipse.exe on Windows) a 32-bit JVM must be used and for the 64-bit Eclipse executable a 64-bit JVM must be used. 32-bit Eclipse will not work with a 64-bit JVM.
Here is an example of what eclipse.ini
might look like on a Windows system after you've added the -vm
argument and increased the maximum heap space:
Remember that the exact values will differ slightly depending on operating system and Eclipse package.
-vm value: Windows Example
This is how the -vm
argument might look on Windows (your exact path to javaw.exe
could be different, of course. Please beware of paths that contain a space, the examples below do not have any spaces, and using quotation marks around paths that contain spaces does not seem to work):
Or
An alternative way is to insert the following VM option before the -vmargs option in the Eclipse shortcut's properties (edit the field Target inside the 'Shortcut' tab):
or
This might not work on all systems. If you encounter 'Java was started but returned exit code=1' error while starting the eclipse, modify the -vm
argument to point to jvm.dll
(exact path could be different):
-vm value: Linux Example
This is how the -vm argument might look on Linux (your exact path to java
could be different, of course):
-vm value: macOS Example
On a macOS system, you can find eclipse.ini
by right-clicking (or Ctrl+click) on the Eclipse executable in Finder, choose Show Package Contents, and then locate eclipse.ini
in the Eclipse
folder under Contents
. The path is often:/Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/eclipse.ini
For versions of Mac OS X 10.7+ is something like:
For example, the latest JDK 1.8 (as of July 2015) is/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_51.jdk/Contents/Home/bin
For standard Mac Java installations and so you don't have to continually update the setting when you install new Java VMs, set the -vm
flag to simply /usr/bin
:
If you want to use another JDK (that has the macOS directory layout, like the .tar.gz from AdoptOpenJDK) you should use:
For JDKs without macOS directory layout see: Using a JDK without macOS directory layout
NOTE: Occasionally, depending on the version of your macOS and whether or not you had already run this particular Eclipse installation before, upon launch after changing the -vm, you may run into an error that says 'the application is damaged and can't be opened'. This is the expected behavior since you just modified a signed/notarized app. This problem can be overcome by opening the Eclipse application once before changing the eclipse.ini file. Alternatively, running of the following command can fix the issue too: xattr -cr Eclipse.app
Here is additional information:
Perhaps the best way to determine the location for the JDK you want to use is with the utility
From the list produced by that command, select the JDK you want to use and put that path into the eclipse.ini file, making sure to append /bin/java
to the path (eg, /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_51.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java
Note that the full path can either include java
or not. For example, the following will both work:
Using a JDK without macOS directory layout
If you want to use a JDK that doesn't follow the macOS directory layout, like the ones installed through SDKMAN!, then you need to specify the path to the libjli.dylib
file.
Eclipse Mac Os
For JDK 11+: <JDK_11+_HOME>/lib/jli/libjli.dylib
For JDK 8: <JDK_8_HOME>/jre/lib/jli/libjli.dylib
Eclipse View App
Examples using SDKMAN!
JDK 11+
JDK 8

NOTE: Beware that if you use current
instead of using a specific JDK version identifier it will use the default if you launch the Eclipse.app using the UI (double-click or using Spotlight). If you launch it from a terminal it will use the one currently selected.
