Here’s how to determine which eclipse.ini file you should use (joomla.org):
- If you downloaded Eclipse IDE manually from internet the “eclipse.ini” file is just inside the unpacked folder
- If you installed Eclipse via terminal or software center the location of the file is “/etc/eclipse.ini”
- In some Linux versions the file can be found at “/usr/share/eclipse/eclipse.ini”. Do not use this file if you found a config file at “/etc/eclipse.ini”.
To be sure where your Eclipse folder is, check $ECLIPSE_HOME, and if not specified (these directions at least work for Juno):
- Open Eclipse as you normally do.
- Click Help -> About Eclipse SDK
- Click Installation Details
- Go to the Configuration tab
- Find “eclipse.home.location=file:PATH“. PATH is where eclipse is installed.
