[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: Problem Launching Eclipse

[bradax@xxxxxxxxxxx (branimir )]

I looked at this but I'm afraid it didn't help. I edited the eclipse.ini 
file to include the -vm option and the full path to what i believe is my 
java. The difference now is that when executing 'ps-elf | grep -i eclipse' 
I get an extra line showing the java process, here it is:

linux-44qc:/opt/eclipse # ps -elf | grep -i eclipse
