[SOLVED] Running Eclipse inside Docker

[Armin@netPI]

But let me ask you this about "Eclipse" in general: For me "Eclipse" is a workbench you usually control via a mouse and keyboard over a Desktop? Is my understanding correct?

So on your hosting RPI - where you say the installation works fine - which version of Raspbian are you running? Raspbian Stretch light or Raspian Desktop?

I did the same thing in your raspbian/strecht container and got exactly the same thing. When eclipse is failing starting it creates a log file.

This is the one I get:

org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles [gtk_init_check() failed]

Looking on the internet for the error "org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles [gtk_init_check() failed]" I found that the java application has not found any graphical display and hence cannot be started. So my assumption is that your base image "raspbian/stretch" is no image with display/desktop function


Thx
