Windows 7 x64 RC, Java 1.6 update 14 Eclipse crash

Hey folks. I've poked around on the forum and Google, but I can't find anything recent matching my problem. I'm posting this on this forum, as well as the Eclipse forum, in hopes of resolving this quickly.
I have installed JDK 1.6 update 14 on a fresh install of Windows 7 64 bit. I can compile and run a simple Hello World class just fine. I have set my path appropriately, but when I launch eclipse, the JVM terminates with the error in this screen shot:

Does anybody have any suggestions/ideas?
Thanks,
Ryan Johnson

As of today the following is the list of windows OSes that the lastest version of Java (Version 6 Update 16) supports.
Windows 2000 , Windows XP , Vista , Windows 2003 , Windows 2008 Server
Note carefully in the above that it doesn't say windows 7.
Thus if you attempt use it on Windows 7 it might or might not work. It might not work initially and it might not work in some odd way that you are only going to discover on Sunday night at 2am when your 24x7 app is no longer 24x7.
Now if you want Sun to fix this problem (no version for windows 7) then the very best way is for you to establish a sales or support relationship with Sun. And then use that to push for a version. Since 1.7 is supposed to be released shortly you are going to need a really big monetary relationship to make them do anything. (I looked and I couldn't find anything that suggests 1.7 will support Windows 7.)
Other than that your choices are limited to the following.
- Tinker with your OS and java in the hopes that you might get it to work and that it doesn't fail in some mysterious and serious way later on.
- Don't use Windows 7.
- Don't use java - at least not from Sun. And I just looked at JRocket and it doesn't support Windows 7 either.

Diagnosing Eclipse crashes

Ever since my last system update eclipse crashes for no apparent reason.
I have determined that it is not due to lack of memory, because the heap status in eclipse always shows that memory is available when eclipse crashes.
I have Eclipse 4.3.2 installed via pacman. And jdk7-openjdk, jre7-openjdk and jre7-openjdk-headless also installed via pacman. (This setup was working perfectly until a few days ago)

Can anyone help me debug this problem? I have no idea what to do next since the logs aren't outputing anything I can work with.
I've also tried to download a zip of eclipse from the official site and then run that eclipse executable but I got the same results.

When Eclipse crashes frequently, I often find that a recent webkitgtk update is to blame.
Try switching to the mozilla swt browser backend. It solved the problem for me.
To do that, add the following system property to the "-vmargs" argument within your /usr/share/eclipse/eclipse.ini:
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

No PKCS#11 support in JDK 6 Update 14 for Windows x64?

Hi there,
I successfully installed GlassFish 2.1 on Windows 2008 x64 with JDK 6 Update 13 for x64. Everything was ok until I wanted to access my USB token with a certificate on it trough an EJB.
I then had to reinstall everything based on 32-bit versions. Now it works again, but I'm not very satisfied with the solution because I wanted to have everything based 64-bit.
Why JDK 6 Update 14 for Windows x64 does not contain PKCS#11 support? When you have look to the x86 version support is available there.

If you load successfully your pkcs11 lib into java 32bit mean that the lib is 32bit.
You cannot load a 32bit native lib into java 64bit ( http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/HotSpotFAQ.html#64bit_native_porting ).
If you find the 64bit lib for your token, you should be able to use java64.

Java 1.5 Update 2 on AMD64, Windows XP

The current system configurations for Java 1.5 Update 2 indicate support for Windows 2003 Server running on an AMD64 processor. Does anyone know when Sun will release a version of Java 1.5 that supports the current 32 bit Windows XP Home/Professional OS running on an AMD64 processor?

The current system configurations for Java 1.5 Update
2 indicate support for Windows 2003 Server running on
an AMD64 processor.Yes, that is correct. And that is for a VM running in 64-bit mode.
You can confirm this by executing java -version and looking
at the output.
Does anyone know when Sun will
release a version of Java 1.5 that supports the

That includes the 32-bit 5.0 JDK, available here:

Problems in Java Runtime Environment Update 14 Control Panel on Windows 7

When opening the Java Control Panel 6 Update 14 on Windows 7, the text and other elements in the Java Control Panel are distorted as shown in this pic: http://jdash007.googlepages.com/javare614prob.jpg
so, what's the problem?
Edited by: jdash007 on Jul 30, 2009 4:10 AM
Edited by: jdash007 on Jul 30, 2009 4:11 AM

Sounds like a Windows problem, in light of this statement from sun about Java 6u14.
This release is Windows 7 support-ready and includes support for Internet Explorer 8, Windows Server 2008 SP2, and Windows Vista SP2
The Java Control Panel lives in the Windows world, not Java. It is a .cpl Windows program. Windows 7 is still pre-release.

How to configure Java Card 3 in eclipse ?

How to configure Java Card 3 in eclipse ? I have already configured Java Card2.2.2 by following
1) http://eclipse-jcde.sourceforge.net/user-guide.htm
And
2)http://eclipse-jcde.sourceforge.net/
the above two links.B ut for Java Card 3 when i am configuring window->preference->Java Card Home I am getting error as "Converter.jar" not found. i checked the lib and i didnt found these jar. I copied 2.2.2 converter.jar , then that jar file not matching. So please tell me how to configure this.
Thanks in advance
Anoop Michael

there are many changes between 2.2.2 and 3.0.1. Folders and files are not same. EclipseJCDE is not going to work with JCDk3.0.1. Some one needs to update that plugin :).
There is a NetBeans plugin in progress and you can try downloading latest NetBeans 6.7.1
Some intro about the plugin can be found here http://weblogs.java.net/blog/2009/05/10/sneak-preview-java-card-tools-netbeans-67
You can try Netbeans 6.8 nightly builds for latest changes, but it may be a while until the plugin is stable.

Ps has older ver. of java - how to update?

I'm using Ps CS5 updated, on win7pro x64
Scans show 2 java prog files that are outdated and newer versions are available like I have for internet explorer.
1. Seems important to update these? or not to worry because seldom used?
2. Will newer java ver. "break" the uses Adobe has? I assume it is for web access to Adobe from within Ps app running.
3. How does one "update" the Adobe location version? Normal Java updates do not affect the Adobe locations. Can I just copy/paste to replace the Adobe location with a new version from Java folder location? or is there an install req'd?
4. windows add/remove does not list the Adobe locations but does show the new 32 & 64 bit versions (up to date) for internet explorer.
5. Is there an Adobe technical web page to go to to get answers and file and instructions? My search found nothing.
Doug.S

The "scanner" I used was on-line, but safe and highly regarded, Secunia
http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/online/?task=load
been using this for years and is a good source to check for important security updates
Scan found this info about file locations of older java (I'm only showing the bad one(s) in Ps):

Looks to me like it is installed by Adobe?? as doing a download/update from Java does not update these locations
This is a nearly new PC and I installed Ps about a month ago from my DVD orig purchased from Adobe shortly after CS5 was released....and turned Ps "off"/"deactivated" in old PC and then installed and activated on this PC.
I suppose if Ps never uses this java.exe then no worry but I suspect anytime I go direct to www via Ps, then sometimes it uses java????
Do all of you also have java.exe in Adobe folders? How did it get there?
I don't have any plugins added to Ps by me....except optional from Adobe; such as twain for scanner.

ITunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install. Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2. Any Thoughts?

iTunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install. Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2. Any Thoughts?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.
If needs be, the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility (MS Installer "Fixit") may be able to help force through the installation.

Java 7.45 update doesn't work, even though I've enabled the add-on. Help!

Updated to Java 7.45 and now it doesn't work in Firefox. I'm running Firefox 25 in Windows XP. Java works fine in Explorer, but not Firefox. Have enabled (Always Activate) in my Add-on Manager. Have re-installed and re-booted, un-installed older versions of Java - still not working. Help!

Thanks cor-el,
Yes, in the Firefox Tools/Add-ons Manager, the Java Platform shows as Always Activate.
And the Java Console also shows as checked in Enable Java content in the browser (in the Security tab), as well as checked as the default Java for both Firefox and Explorer (in the Advanced tab).
Other ideas?

Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x800F0922

Hi folks,
I have a HP Elitebook Folio 9470p. It came with Windows 8, and I installed it on my corporate domain. I was trying to do some Windows updates so I could upgrade it to Windows 8.1, but it fails installing the updates, whether or not I try
to install them one at a time or all of them. It has about 18 updates it needs from security updates to a .net framework update. I run Symantec EP, and disabled it, checked for driver updates for things like display and networking and they are
all up to date.
I'm at a loss as to what to do. It gives this error in the event log for each file, Event ID 20.
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x800F0922: Security Update for Windows 8 for x64-based Systems (KB2862152).
This is the example for KB2862152, but it gives the same error for every one. I've tried to auto fix for Windows update issues and it fixed a couple of the issues, but not all of them, and provides no other help.
I also deleted folders and files from the SoftwareDistribution folder as well, to no avail. Any ideas what I can do to get whatever updates it needs, so I can fully patch it, and upgrade it to Win 8.1?
Thanks for any help!

Hi MM. Mr Kywildcat and Vegan Fan,
GOOD NEW ! At this time, my issue is solved. The only black side is "how ?" : I hope that we will get a response some day ; however, and for in information pnly - hoping this could help someone - I resume some actions which allowed this the happy end
1) about installing 8.1 : I wanted to be sure that gain/pain ratio was positive, and that upgrading from a (potentially) damaged system would'nt produce something looking like a new Win 8.1, but difficult to maintain and keeping some negative potentialities.
2) I was influenced by the fact that this
0x800F0922 error acted as "a serial killerror", whose root cause could be a unique update error at reboot time concerning several (>20) packages, so I decided to test some manual upgrades.
3) Manual update (i.e. manual download and maunching of .msu packages) of the 2 following packages
(whose update previously failed on a Windows Update) was successful : .NET Framework version 3.5 for x64 (KB2898866) and Camera Codec Pack Windows 8 for x64 (KB2899190)
4) So I decided to try Windows Update on a selection of packages, first : those concerning .Net Framework 3.5 and 4.5 (that is: KB2898866, 2901120, 2898865) --> Successful !
5) finally, I selected almost all other packages, with some exceptions wich I (think to) have no need for : KB2871690, 2904659, 2843630. To be complete, here is the list of pakages updated one time at all :
KB 2892074, 2893294, 2893984, 2909210, 2912390, 2916036, 2889784,2903938, 2911101, 2913152, 2917499
--> always succesful.
I am not a specialist, but I uess that this 0x800F0922 error hides another problem which is globally "H-RESULTED"
to all updates pending in one update operation with reboot. This could be assumed from this CBS.log exterped from my last wrong attempts, where root cause seems not to be
0x800f0922, but 0x80004003 :
2014-02-15 21:29:13, Info CBS Could not get active session for current session file logging [HRESULT = 0x80004003 - E_POINTER]

Anyway, thanks to you who spent some of your time to describe issues and search/ suggest solutions ; I will upgrade my system to 8.1 anyway, some of this day, when I am sure that my configuration does not hides some other problem. I thing that potential
issue remains until maybe a new KB corrects it, wrong :-) ?
And I hope that you - Mr Kywildcat - can upgrade your system on "current levels" trying similar attempts.

HP m8430f stuck on "Starting Windows" after April 10, 2012 Microsoft Updates

HP m8430f stuck on "Starting Windows" after April 10, 2012 Microsoft Updates. Upgraded to Windows 7 X64 from Vista X64 almost two years ago. Have never had any problems until morning of April 12th. I will cut to the final resolution to help anyone else who is going through this or will in the future. After trying to repair Win7, restoring back to factory recovery (got code purple), installing clean Vista 64 and trying upgrade to Windows 7 again, formatting drive using /p:2 option of writing 0's twice to whole drive and then doing a clean install of Win7 only to get to the same place of being stuck at "Starting Windows", I tried a trick I had read about. Boot to safe mode, you will get an error that you can complete install from safe mode. Don't close window but hit Shift-F10 and a cmd prompt will open. Type in compmgmtlauncher and choose Device Manager. Disable the Visx PureTV-U 48B0 under Sound, Video and Game controllers. Reboot computer and Win7 complete installation. Since I was able to get into Safe mode back on April 12th, I should have tried disabling everything then, but since it was working without problems before the updates, I couldn't believe that it was any of the devices. I have not been able to get around this issue with the tv-tuner, but I don't have a need for it right now for it. I saw a tip to try moving it to another pci slot and I will try that if I ever have a need to open the computer. Just wanted to document what to do to save others weeks of searching. If this is a driver issue, I can't believe HP or Windows hasn't come up with a more current driver. During all of the installs, I never get a yellow triangle for that device or any indication in Event log or anywhere that there was a problem with this device.

I had a similar issue with mine not working properly running Windows 7 Ultimate.   Mine was working just fine for quite some time and then I moved my system into our TV room and hooked it up to the television, and used it there.   Everything worked fine, I then returned it to the normal location but did not plug the IR sensor back in.
I had issues with it, I then plugged it back in and it seemed to be working fine, then started to freeze while we were working on it, it would do this all the time. I was thinking I had virus, I tried restoring windows to a previous working state. Upgrading my Virus software and everything.   This was all back in October 2011. I finally just thought my system was going out after a number of years.
Then the other day for some reason I moved the IR sensor from one plug to the other. It is currently plugged into the bottom right USB port next to the RJ45 port.   It seems to be working just fine now and I don't have the device you suggested disabled, though I will keep that in mind.
Thanks for you post, Hope mine helps too.

Java 5.0 Update 6- Problem Installing ?

Hi, My name is Mark, Iam a new member to "FORUM" Iam having technical difficulties trying to download, and install Java 5.0 update 6...my computor is using IE-6 browser. early today the Java 5.0 downloaded... and was trying to add the files needed for the program, when I received the following error message: " We encountered an issue while trying to automatically install Java software onto your machine". If you encounter an error. check the top of the browser (see image above) for a yellow bar that reads " This site might require the following Active X control: J2SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 1 from 'Sun Microsystems,Inc. .Click the yellow bar and choose "install Active X Control..." to allow installation to proceed. However "the Yellow bar image never appeared on the browser page; ? I have been told that my XP windows Firewall or spyware protection software, I have on my computer, is 'causing the issue. However I turned off the firewall and shut the spyware program off... I again tried to install Java 5.0 (Update-6) however when the files try to load-up... it stalls,so therefore (installation Fails etc.) I tried to troubleshoot the issue with the alternative method: downloading MS-Java X 86 from a another internet site, and tried to install and run it...received this error message: "Installation Failed" -not a valid win 32 application" ...I hope someone here in this forum has the correct information -or- how to fix or resolve this issue ? Thank's

Hi again, I donot actually download the intallation package, the entire program setup is at the Java download site: and is installed on ones computer right at the website: a window appears that says "Java (TM) SE Runtime Enviorment 6 update 1 license and prompts me to either go with a typical setup or choose the custom setup. once I click Typical setup the process begins to install it loads some files and freezes up or stalls when it gets half way point(status)" Copy New Files" or near the end of it . When I know it has stalled completely. I close my IE-6 browser page and disconnect my Internet connection. A error message appears: as follows Error 1606. could not access network location http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/Get file/1.6 0_01-6/windows-i586/ja 160000.cab Again, I say this is a serious issue.... I hope someone has the knowledge or can direct me to a source ... who can help me get this resolved... Reguard's , Mark
