I m trying to use e(fx)clipse with java8 and eclipse Luna on my mac (yosemite).

In a terminal : java -version gives me

java version "1.8.0_25" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b17) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)

In my eclipse.ini I m putting :

-vm /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java

which points to my java8 folder. In eclipse I ve set up the java8 jre.

But when I open eclipse I m still getting :

You are not running your eclipse instance with Java8 ....

I can't get where I am wrong. Any clue?

Thanks.

-vm and the path must be on separate lines in the eclipse.ini (and must come before any -vmargs) - greg-449
I'm not a Mac user but is /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java seriously the path to the JRE on a Mac? The path sounds like just a browser plugin to me. - André Stannek
The path for the 1.8 update 25 JDK is /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home - greg-449
I had only JRE installed. That was the problem. thanks! - user1260928

I had faced similar issue when I had installed JavaFX eclipse plugin in a 32bit eclipse (Luna). It seems, though you have 64bit OS and 64bit JRE/JDK, and you have setup Environment Variables, you will need 64bit Eclipse to run JavaFX under Eclipse.

Hence, make sure you have 64bit Eclipse running on your machine. If it is a 32bit machine, then there won't be any problem as neither we could install 64bit JDK or 64bit Eclipse.

I hope this solves the problem.

Thanks
