    I get this error message from the installer:

    “Insufficient Memory”
    Your system does not have sufficient memory to support MyEclipse. MyEclipse requires 256 MBs physical memory and 64 MBs of virtual memory. Your system only has 4056708 MBs of physical memory, and 0 MBs of virtual memory”.

    After that, I am forced to quit the installer.

    Of course the error is nonsense. I am perfectly able to run standard Eclipse with lots of plugins. I only need to install MyEclipse because a colleague of mine creates forms in Matisse and I need to edit them.

    Could you tell me how to bypass this memory “check” and install MyEclipse?

    Linux version:
    LSB Version: core-2.0-ia32:core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-ia32:core-3.0-noarch:core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:core-3.2-ia32:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-ia32:core-4.0-noarch
    Distributor ID: Ubuntu
    Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
    Release: 12.04
    Codename: precise

    mbc,

    Take a look at this thread which discuss the same issue :
    https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/myeclipse-10-install-requires-virtual-memory/#post-320953

    Try the suggestions that were mentioned in the above thread.

    Alternatively, you can try installing via the update site, or archived update site.

    Pleaser refer to the following FAQ for details on installing via an archived update site:
    https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/installation-install-myeclipse-using-archived-update-site/

    Let us know how it works for you.

    Displaying the insufficient virtual swap memory. Unable to install ME 2015 CI or ME 2014.

    Running ‘sysctl vm.swapusage’ returns

    vm.swapusage: total = 0.00M used = 0.00M free = 0.00M (encrypted)

    This value cannot be modified as it’s readonly.

    Tried updating ‘com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist’ under ‘/System/Library/LaunchDaemons’ to point the swapfile to a new mounted drive. No joy.

    Any ideas on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

    gosullivan,

    I’m sorry that you are seeing this issue.

    The only workaround that I could suggest you is to install MyEclipse 2014 using update site on top of Eclipse Standard 4.3.1. (I suggest you to install MyEclipse 2014 because we have not released the update sites for MyEclipse 2015 CI.)

    Please follow these steps to install MyEclipse 2014 using an Eclipse update site:
    a. Download and install Eclipse Standard 4.3.1
    b. Edit the eclipse.ini file in the eclipse folder and change the -Xmx512m value to -Xmx768m.
    c. Start Eclipse and click Help > Install New Software > Add the following update site:
    http://downloads.myeclipseide.com/downloads/products/eworkbench/2014/site/GA/
    Make sure “Group items by category” is selected and select the “MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench” group.
    d. Click Next twice, accept the licenses presented and click Finish to start the installation. Restart when prompted.

    Once you have installed MyEclipse, you need to follow the steps mentioned here to install Matisse in MyEclipse 2014.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused. Let us know if you face any issues while installing MyEclipse 2014 using update site.

    I found a workaround for Mac (this works on 10.10. Yosemite):
    – Download the full installer
    – Open the DMG and then show the package content of the installer
    – Copy the content of the Show Package contents to a separate folder
    – Delete the CodeSignature folder
    – From SystemPrefences temporarly enable “Allow apps downloaded from Anywhere” (in your Security & Privacy settings)
    – Edit the file MacOS/standard-install and add the following to the vmargs: “-Dcom.genuitec.pulse.debug.memory.check=true”
    – Run standard-install

    There are two more issues:
    – Tomcat startup is not detected (see here: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/myeclipse-2015-ci-started-tomcat-is-not-recognised-yosemite/)

    – JDK1.7 does not install on a fresh install due to a Sun bug. The only work-around is either JDK 1.8 or this: http://www.naschenweng.info/2014/08/01/jdk-1-7-install-os-10-10-yosemite-fails-wrong-version-number/
