Eclipse Error on Mavericks: posix_spawn is not a supported process launch mechanism on this platform

I'm using OS X Mavericks. I've installed apple's Java and JDK 8 and 7 from Oracle. Downloaded Android ADT. When I run eclipse, it shows me this error on build. I couldn't use eclipse.

Do you have any idea about that problem?

An internal error occurred during: "Building workspace". posix_spawn is not a supported process launch mechanism on this platform.

java.lang.Error: posix_spawn is not a supported process launch mechanism on this platform.

I had this issue on Mac OS 10 with Java SDK 1.8.0. Updating Java SDK solved my problem.

The problem is special language characters (Probably i-İ in Turkish as in this case).

Here is how I solved step by step:

  1. Change your preferred language to English as primary. (How to?)
  2. Restart Mac.
  3. Start Eclipse and create a project. (Your problem should have been solved right now)
  4. Close eclipse.
  5. Change your preferred language to Turkish.
  6. Restart Mac.

Since the problem is only faced by Turkish users, I will also add translation of above as:

Problem dildeki özel karakterler (Muhtemelen Türkçe'deki i-İ harfi, bu durumda).

Adım adım çözüm:

  1. Sistem dilinizi İngilizce'ye çevirin. (Nasıl mı?)
  2. Mac a restart atın.
  3. Eclipse i açın ve proje oluşturun. (Sorununuz bu aşamada çözülmüş olması lazım)
  4. Eclipse i kapatın.
  5. Sistem dilinizi Türkçe'ye çevirin.
  6. Mac a restart atın.

The workaround for now is to run with -Djdk.lang.Process.launchMechanism=fork until this is resolved.

Instead of uninstalling the new JDK you can configure eclipse to use specific jdk by manipulating Eclipse.app/Contents/info.plist

Open info.plist with a text editor and add below line (I am adding 1.6.0 since I use jdk6, if you want to use jdk7 use 1.7.0)

<string>-vm</string><string>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Commands/java</string>

in the beginning of array tag

<key>Eclipse</key>
    <array>

You had already solve your problem but If problem can occur again, change your region to USA. This is because of Turkish language's I and İ is different than English.
