Which permissions does Eclipse need to run? -


i installed eclipse , having trouble relating denied user permissions.

i working on vista inside windows domain. user account restricted. boss needs grant administrator permission time install application or establish new network connection through firewall.

here of problems have occurred:

  • at eclipse startup, vista asks every time if want run it. doesn't remember decision.
  • eclipse doesn't remember default workspace.
  • i installed birt plugin. after second restart doesn't work anymore. birt perspective not run fine.

what permissions need run eclipse on windows?

this problem occurs when host eclipse application within directory protected vista or windows 7 operating system. example, %programfiles%, %programfiles(x86)%, or %programw6432%. unfortunately, of eclipse's maturity, still doesn't entirely restrict per-user activities windows operating system's user space.

if don't care eclipse application resides, or don't have admin rights on system, try moving eclipse application directory not protected windows operating system.

if have admin rights on system, , want eclipse application hosted in 1 of window's protected directories, must make directory writable users. allow proper operation of eclipse application, warned allow users directly modify files within eclipse application directory. can reduce risk making directory writable specific accounts choose.

note performing either of above solutions, not necessary run eclipse application "run administrator" option.

to make eclipse application directory writable users:

  1. right click on eclipse application directory within windows explorer.
  2. select "properties".
  3. click "security" tab.
  4. click "edit..." button change security permissions eclipse folder.
  5. if want specific user accounts able write eclipse application directory, click "add..." button allow accounts appear within "group or user names" list.
  6. one @ time, select each account granted write access eclipse application directory, , click checkbox "modify / allow" such checkbox checked.
  7. conversely, if want allow system users able use eclipse properly, select "users (yourcomputername\users)" group "group or user names" list, , click checkbox "modify / allow" such checkbox checked.
  8. after appropriate users have been given write access eclipse application directory, click "ok". should able run eclipse without issue.
