java error on new PC and legacy eclipse

[lslarry86]

I maintain a system on 5441x with NNDK2.8.7. Every few years I face reinstalling NNDK 2.8.7 on a new PC. This time the "new system" is Win11Pro running as a VMWare guest under Fedora42 host. NNDK installed ok from an old EXE, with an old serial number, but Eclipse is throwing Java exceptions. For Java on the Win11 guest OS, I went back and got jdk-11.0.28_windows-x64_bin.exe, on the theory that it was active in 2018. It is the only Java on this VM. NetBurner Eclipse tries to run with it, but after about a second it throws an exception dialog. There is no cut&paste, but a screenshot is Attached. The Java Exit Code is 13. Any ideas how I can make this work?

Followup: same problem with JDK-8 32 bit, which I read was the last 32 bit java (2014). Same error, exit code 13.

Never mind. I copied over my old c:\nburn tree and that works. Looks like there is a private java distro in C:\nburn\NBEclipse\jre that was not in the old installer. I should be ok. Thanks anyway.

Thanks for the followup, although surprised java8 32-bit did not work. If you have both 32 and 64 bit installed, it could be a path problem. But installing from our java link is the best.

Just a note for anyone using legacy tools, command line builds do not use java. We have made makefiles very easy to use. If you look at any example you will find a makefile. All you need to do is add your source files, all the other complexity is already done. At that point you can still eclipse, or any editor such as vscode.
