I have tried to install IBM Rational Software Architect. At the end of the installation it says that it has installed the software but failed to initiate eclipse. When I try to launch the RSA (the software) it fails with this error message: "See the log file /Users/danielamir/IBM/rationalsdp/workspace/.metadata/.log.". So I checked the log file, which contained this:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench 4 0 2018-04-19 11:04:16.858

I have also already tried this below which didn't work: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=9ed43812-9c67-4fd5-921b-f7acb405e12b
Probably your Java_Home is not set in the environment variables.
