Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Eclipse Won't Launch on Mac using Java 13

FYI,

I wanted to express my deepest gratitude to Lakshmi Shanmugam and Sravan Kumar Lakkimsetti for their timely and detailed investigation of this problem!  Without their help, I would not have been able to solve this problem, let alone this quickly!!   Together we all make things better.

As it turns out, contrary to what the one user reported, only the installer fails to launch and only because the filtered installers---the ones downloaded for each release that only install the specific released version of the products---were not properly signed with "entitlements":

  https://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/tree/releng/org.eclipse.oomph.releng/hudson/installer.entitlements

I've fixed the scripts to produce a new *.dmg and Lakshmi has verified that this fixes the problem.

Regards,
Ed

According to the following thread, it appears that Eclipse's native launcher doesn't launch with Java 13 on Mac.

Specifically failing with this message 'The JVM shared library "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-13.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/../lib/server/libjvm.dylib" does not contain the JNI_CreateJavaVM symbol.'

According the following follow-up, both the installer and the packages fail to launch with the same error:

I've opened the following Bugzilla to track the problem:
