Requirements & Support

IDEEclipse 2022-03 (4.23) or later.
Java

Java 17 or 21 (installed with the application). Oracle and OpenJDK are supported.

IP Address FormatsIPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.
Additional When installing from the update site, you need to install the Eclipse Graphical Editing Framework (GEF). You can download and install Eclipse GEF from http://www.eclipse.org/gef/.
Recommended

We also recommend configuring the osgi.bundlefile.limit property to 0 (unlimited) for Windows or 300 for Linux and macOS when starting Eclipse. For example:

Code Block
eclipse.exe -vmargs -Dosgi.bundlefile.limit=0

The osgi.bundlefile.limit property limits the number of JAR files the Eclipse framework will keep open. This property defaults to 100, which may be too low and result in performance issues. Setting the property manually overrides the default setting. If you experience crashes or a "Too many open files" exception after setting the property to the recommended values, try setting the property to a lower limit.

Installing Copilot

If you have also installed Copilot in Eclipse, you can use it with Virtualize. Note that Copilot can't be installed in a standalone version of Virtualize; if you want to use Virtualize with Copilot, you need to install a standalone version of Eclipse and install both Copilot and Virtualize into that Eclipse. See this page for more information about installing Copilot in Eclipse.
