If using Mac OS X you will recieve an error due to modification of the eclipse.ini file,

“Eclipse.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash. |
To fix this switch to the directory where Eclipse.app resides,, open the mac terminal and type the following,,
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
cd ~/apps spctl --add --label "Eclise" Eclipse.app # Eclipse.app is the Eclipse package. |
Actually, not sure if above fully worked. I tried and it did not seem to take. However, it started working after I I ended up switching to a root enabled account and disabling and enabling spctl. It may be adding below a step to reboot,
...
Click "open". Then enabling after it seems ok,
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
su - setup.admin # My normal Mac User does not have sudo privileges, yours might. sudo spctl --master-disable sudo spctl --master-enable |
Restart the computer.
I need to test on a fresh machine before saying 100%.
