Hi, i just installed JBDS on  Fedora 14 , but i cant seem to start it via application>programming>JBDS. Each time i try i get a JVM terminated, Exit Code = -1 error. I However tried starting it as root via the terminal and i had no errors. what might the issue be with starting it via application>Programming>....

Thank You

Best guess is that your default Java VM is gcj or something similar when launching apps from the desktop but in your shell you got something working ?

How do you start it from the terminal ?

What is in the eclipse.ini witin the jbdevstudio/eclipse folder ?

How you installed JBDS via application manager or using JBDS installer?

Thanks Max,

Had the Issue Sorted out. Was the JVM. My Default is the Sun JVM and thought the JBoss Installer will default to that too. I was wrong. Had to explicitly select the SUN JVM from the JBoss Installer and the issue was fixed.

"How do you start it from the terminal ? ": from within the eclipse folder, as root i executed ./eclipse.

Unless you run your desktop as root then you will most likely not have the same default environment setup from a desktop launch and within an terminal! That explains it.

p.s. not a good idea to run any desktop app as root
