ABAP communication layer is not configured properly. (M1 Mac)

[ahmeterturk]

Hi All,

I have installed Eclipse on my M1 chip MacBook Pro but it does not working properly. I installed Java. After that I installed Eclipse. I cannot use Eclipse properly, I cannot connect any system.

You can see java version as below

ahmeterturk@Ahmet-MacBook-Pro ~ % java --version
openjdk 17.0.1 2021-10-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Homebrew (build 17.0.1+1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Homebrew (build 17.0.1+1, mixed mode, sharing)

The Error(Also, I attached screenshot):

ABAP communication layer is not configured properly. Consult the installation guide or download page for further details.

JCo initialization failed with java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no sapjco3 in java.library.path: /Users/ahmeterturk/Library/Java/Extensions:/Library/Java/Extensions:/Network/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/java:.

My system info:

• MacBook Pro M1 Chip
• Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (includes Incubating components)
  Version: 2021-12 (4.22.0) Build id: 20211202-1639

How can I solve that issue?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

based on the error message it looks like you are using the AArch64 / ARM version of Eclipse. ADT is currently not ARM ready, therefore you have to use the x86_64 build of Eclipse (Eclipse 2021-12: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2021-12/r/eclipse-ide-java-developers)

Side note: The Eclipse packages are using there own pre-packed JVM, that means, per default it is not using your system JVM. Further information can be found here: https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/3035242

Thanks and kind regards,
Yannic

Hi Yannic,

is it still the case that only x86_64 version of Eclipse works for ADT on a M1?

Thanks and Cheers,

Martin

Hi Martin,

yes, this is still the case.
But, we made some good progress and an internal beta is already running. So it should be released soon.

Kind regards,
Yannic

Hi Yannic,

Looking forward to ARM version of ADT. Currently I am trying Eclipse on Macbook Air with M2. I have x86_64 Eclipse, SapGUI780 and JavaFX all in x86_64 version. Embedded GUI windows are running well in Eclipse, however I am experiencing issues with PDF preview and print. In standalone SapGUI it's fine but in Eclipse I get only pdf controls but no preview. And when trying to go to settings and printing I get this Error:

Whole error:

Any idea what this might be and how to fix it?

Thank you in advance

Is there a way you can provide the resolution you performed to resolve this issue.

[Florian_Kube]

you can use the Intel Version of Eclipse. Then it will work.

I created an idea on influence.sap.com so may SAP will support ARM in the future.

[ahmeterturk]

Hi Selvakumar,

Sorry for the late reply 😞
As Florian Kube mentioned, you should choose correct version of Eclipse for your computer. In my question, I was installed wrong version. That is why I was facing with the error.

I added an improvment request. You may want to vote for it.

Thanks for the request! I'm currently stuck at the attached error (eclipse on Intel and Java GUI 7.80 on M1) when I try to open the GUI from within eclipse. Are you having the same issue?screenshot-2022-09-23-at-111700.png
