在记忆棒上运行ECLIPSE

Question

I'm trying to run Eclipse (Neon 1) on a memory stick. In a first time, the problem was the JVM 1.6 installed on the machine which is too old. To use a compatible JVM, I created a jre directory in Eclipse's directory and placed in it a JVM 1.8 (the last one found on ORACLE's web site).

Now, when I try to run Eclipse, nothing happens. I got the splash screen with "Eclipse Neon 1" then, nothing, not even an error message.

What is the problem and what can I do ?

Important note : I can't install a JVM on the "native machine" as I'm not administrator.

Than, you for all your answers. Have a good day.

Answer 1

When you need programs to run off a USB, always search if a portable version exists first. This is a working portable version of Eclipse Neon but it is another version though.

Answer 2

Finally, I found (one of) my mistake.

I used a jre(...).exe. It's the problem. I downloaded the tar.gz file of the jre and unpacked it. Then, I used the jre of this unpacked version and everything was ok except a problem with an "access restriction" to some libraries.

I fixed that last problem with that question on StackOverFlow . And now, everything is ok !

Great ! Thank you to everyone for your help.
