I downloaded and installed eclipse for macOS 10.
However, when I want to launch it, I keep getting the following error message:
**Eclipse quit unexpectedly.**
Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
On this website:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini
I was told to change the content of the eclipse.ini file. As demanded, I added the following two lines to the file (before the "vmargs" line): -vm /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_111.jdk/Contents/Home/bin
But, of course, it still doesn't work. Any ideas what's going wrong here?
