JCOP Shell "Connect to terminal" icon not working

[Jim_Coon]

I recently installed Java 17 and after that the "Connect to terminal" icon in the JCOP Shell within Eclipse no longer worked. I installed another version of Eclipse and re-installed the JCOP tools, but the icon still does not work.

I have the following installed:

Eclipse IDE, version 2020-09, Build id: 20200910-1200

NXP JCOP Tools 6.9.0.12  - com.nxp.id.jcop.eclipse

NXP Target-Pack for NXP JCOP Tools  6.9.0.12 - com.nxp.id.jcop.eclipse.targetpacks

Can you use the standalone version of JCShell?  I'd try installing that and making sure it runs.  If it does, it's a probably a problem specific to Eclipse, otherwise it's probably a problem with Eclipse.

I seem to remember having some issues with the most recent versions of Eclipse having their own copy of the Java runtime in them.   There were a few ENV vars that weren't set quite properly. 

Basically, I think you may need to have JAVA_HOME set as part of the eclipse.ini:

-DJAVA_HOME=C:/Users/xxxx/.p2/pool/plugins/org.eclipse.justj.openjdk.hotspot.jre.full.win32.x86_64_17.0.7.v20230425-1502/jre
