I do not have permission for this file for some reason. Also my previous question someone suggests me that the problem is not installing java jdk but after I installed it, then launch java ee version, same error appears. How do I fix this? I open the get Info of this ini file, it says dylan(writes/reads). I am confused. Can someone tell me how to exactly install it.
Moreover, I look it up in java official guide of solving this problem, it says If you’re seeing this popup when you launch Eclipse itself, or the Eclipse installer on your macOS, this post is for you. First, there’s a bit more details on the Eclipse and JDK bug trackers. To fix this, you will need to uninstall the problematic JDK version and install the latest one on your macOS machine:
- Run the /usr/libexec/java_home -V command to list all installed JVM versions.
- Identify the problematic version of the JVM – in my case it was “14, x86_64: "Java SE 14" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-14.jdk/Contents/Home“.
- Delete that version – with something like “sudo rm -rf /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-14.jdk/“
- Install the latest matching JVM / JDK – at the time of this writing it is 14.0.1
- Verify that it appears in the list of installed JVMs with /usr/libexec/java_home -V
- If needed, point the Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/eclipse.ini to the location of the newly installed JVM (-vm parameter)
I am not sure how it works. For example, how do I identify which one is problematic, and what command should I use in terminal to install it, etc.
