Eclipse JVM terminated exit code 1 when editing Java source on RHEL 6.3 Linux using z/OS or CICS Explorer

Question & Answer


Question

Why does the Eclipse JVM crash and display the following popup with "JVM terminated. Exit code=1 ..." each time I attempt to edit a Java source file on Linux RHEL 6.3 using z/OS Explorer or CICS Explorer?

Answer

Edit the eclipse.ini file in the z/OS Explorer or CICS Explorer install folder and add the following setting, then restart the Explorer.

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false

There is some incompatibility between the cairo graphics package and Eclipse versions installed on RHEL Linux. This setting will resolve the JVM terminated. Exit code=1 problem.
