Eclipse Java crash error

[u/Yato-ex]

Hey, I'm not so experienced with Java or coding in general, so I feel really helpless. When I try to do something in Eclipse, I get an error code (I'm gonna paste it down below). I have tried downloading Java from Adoptium and from Oracle; neither of them worked. I have tried using different versions, so Java 21, 25, and 27, which also didn't work.Maybe someone knows a solution and could help me. Thank you beforehand for helping

Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions

• You include any and all error messages in full

• You ask clear questions

• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

  Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

This is in native code. I’d guess your Java is incompatible with the libc of your system. Can you install Java from an official repository of your distribution? The message says it’s a BSD system running on ARM. What does `uname -a` return (run it on the console)?

It gave back "Darwin MacBookAir 27.0.0 Darwin Kernel Version 27.0.0: Tue Aug 11 21:05:27 PDT 2026; root:xnu-13432.1.9~1/RELEASE_ARM64_T8103 arm64"

Ok, so that’s macOS. Does Java run from the console, i.e., `java —version`? If not, Java is incompatible. If yes, eclipse is. Eclipse uses native libraries for its UI, so you need to download a compatible version.

On the eclipse download page, select "Download Packages" and make sure you download for macOS aarch64.

Okay thank you very much

I recommend using SDKMan to install a JDK of your choice. It’s easy to setup a JDK for different projects or change versions.
