I have multiple versions of Java installed on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit system. In order to install
Eclipse Java 2018-12
I have had to install the Java 11 JDK from the Oracle website. Despite setting JAVA_HOME and updating PATH in environment variables the only way to install and also run this version of Eclipse was to open a command prompt and
C:>set path=c:\program files\java\jdk11.0.1\bin
and then run Eclipse installer or installed instance.
The problem persists if I reboot my computer.
I want to be able to start eclipse by simply clicking on the desktop icon link.
The error I get when I try to run eclipse from the desktop link is:
Version 1.7.0_79 of the JVM is not suitable for this product. Version 1.8 out greater is required.
My C:\Program Files\Java\
contains folders
jdk1.0.7_79
jdk-11.0.1
jre7
I think I need all of these because I have some programs which I think retire java 7 so I don't think uninstalling java 7 is an option and don't think java 11 would replace it, or should I just get rid of java 7, is that what's causing the problem despite environment variables set correctly?
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks.
Add c:\program files\java\jdk11.0.1\bin to your Windows Environment PATH
The system was running C:\Windows\System32\javaw.exe
I fixed it by adding the Java 11 bin directory at the beginning of the Path environment variable instead of at the end of the string, separated by a semicolon.
First set JAVA_HOME then update path in environmental, refer screenshots attached.
I'm trying to install Java to use Eclipse (I followed all instructions to install Java and Eclipse) but my Eclipse is not starting due to some bad configuration I guess. I can't figure out why it's not working for me.
Eclipse Installation:
Extracted Eclipse at C:\eclipse
Created a shortcut to my desktop having target C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe
When I try to run Eclipse with this shortcut, I see following Eclipse splash screen for a second and it disappears. Eclipse does not start at all.
JAVA Installation:
Installed JDK at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10
Installed JRE at C:\Program Files\Java\jre7
Environment Variables Configuration:
JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10
PATH = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\bin;
I tested my Java installation using the console and figured out this issue but I don't know how to fix it, and I guess this is causing Eclipse not to start.
Problem:
Go to Eclipse folder, locate eclipse.ini file, add following entry (before -vmargs if present):
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\bin\javaw.exe
Save file and execute eclipse.exe.
please try to execute java from
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\bin
i.e from the location where java is installed.
If it is successful, it means that the error lies somewhere in the classpath.
Also, this guy seems to have had the same problem as yours, check it out
Check that downloaded eclipse/JDK/JRE is compatible with your processor/OS architecture that is are they 32bit or 64bit?
Not able to run Appium {“message”:”A new session could not be created. (Original error: ‘java -version’ failed
I used Jdk 1.8 and JRE 1.8, Classpath is also set properly but I observed that Java command gives Error to initialization of VM (java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object)
Solution:
Uninstalled JRE and JDK completely
Installed JRE 1.8 then
Installed JDK 1.8
Set Classpath
check Java command works or not and its working
also able to execute the Appium program thru Eclipse Kepler Service Release 2 with JDK1.8 support
I had the same error in my case was when I needed to update jdk 7 to jdk 8, and my bad was just I installed jdk8 and I never installed jre8, only that, the error was solved immediately when I installed jre8.
Try placing the desired java directory in PATH before not needed java directories in your PATH.
I had the same issue on Windows 7 and I had to install both JDK and JRE and it's a success.
I faced the same problem,Eclipse splash screen for a second and it disappears.Then i noticed due to auto update of java there are two java version installed in my system. when i uninstalled one eclipse started working.
Thanks you..
I've observed this with STS and Eclipse and running java from CMD too on Windows 7/8/10 and following was my simple solution:
Actually, when I installed JDK 8 and STS/Eclipse it created one directory i.e. C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath with the following files:
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\java.exe
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\javaw.exe
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\javaws.exe
Along with that, it appended Path Environment variable of System with this location C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath
I've just removed above entry from Path Environment variable of System and added the location of the actual JDK instead i.e. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\bin
Now that is not necessary to add that -vm option in eclipse.ini or
SpringToolSuite4.ini either.
I just spent about 1 hour to figure out possible solution for the same error.
So what I did under MS WIndows 7 is following
Uninstall all Java packages of all versions.
Download last packages Java SE or JRE for your 32 or 64 Windows and install it.
First install JRE and second is Java SE.
Open text editor and paste this code.
public class Hello {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("test");
}
}
Save it like Hello.java
Go to Console and compile it like
javac Hello.java
Execute the code like
java Hello
Should be no error.
sometime you missed some file like I missed my one file rt.java
so better to check yours .........
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_112\jre\lib
0

Below error is thrown when there are multiple versions of jdk on your machine:
error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object
so for this Just use below:
set PATH="JDK bin path" in cmd
I had a same issuse, my file location was in D-drive, and then i shifted to the c-Drive and it works.
I get this error when I try to do anything with Java in command prompt:
Error opening registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment.3'
Error: could not find Java.dll
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment
I did screw around with deleting Java directories and registry a few days ago. I restarted computer and java was still working fine, then i restarted it again today and now I get this error. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that doesn't seem to work. I have the latest java JRE installed and the path set in the environment variables. Anyone have any clue how to fix this?
Make sure you remove any java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe from your Windows\System32 folder and if you have an x64 system (Win 7 64 bits) also do the same under Windows\SysWOW64.
If you can't find them at these locations, try deleting them from C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath.
You will find a folder named "Oracle" on ProgramData folder in your windows installed drive. Remove the folder. Hope it will work.
In my case my install drive is C and my path is C:\ProgramData\Oracle
I had a similar problem. I had installed JDK7 update 1 but couldn't use it (probably because I found a JRE6 that I deleted after installing JDK7). Uninstalling JDK7 was impossible. The solution was to add the JRE registry entries by hand.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment]
"CurrentVersion"="1.7"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.7]
"JavaHome"="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7"
"RuntimeLib"="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7\\bin\\client\\jvm.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.7.0_01]
"JavaHome"="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7"
"RuntimeLib"="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7\\bin\\client\\jvm.dll"
You'll have to adjust the above to your own directories and version.
If this doesn't help, there's still JavaRa https://singularlabs.com/software/javara/ .
Delete these 3 files present in your local at path C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath
java.exe
javaw.exe
javaws.exe
This solved the issue for me :)
Make sure you remove any java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe from your system.
if you have an x32 system (Win XP 32 bits) Windows\System32 folder
if you have an x64 system (Win 7 64 bits) also do the same under Windows\SysWOW64 folder
On Windows 10 I had just installed the JDK, and got these errors when checking the version. I had to delete all executable files starting with java (i.e. java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe) from C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath. And then, once deleted, re-run the JDK installer, restart my terminal program and java -v works.
There are 3 locations to check
Registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.8.0_xxx\JavaHome
Java Control Panel- Java tab - View - Path
Environment Variables - Path ($env:Path)
All 3 have to align (if you have multiple entires just remove the wrong ones) - thats all
I had the same:
Error opening registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment
Clearing Windows\SysWOW64 doesn't help for Win7
In my case it installing JDK8 offline helped (from link)
I would have tagged this as a comment but cant (dont have the rep) just wanted to thank Tilman. I was trying to get PDFsam (PDF Split and Merge) to work to no avail.
At launch it would produce an error stating that it could not find JRE 1.6.0. I Have both 32 and 64 bit versions and they check out fine at the java website in their respective browsers.
Tried uninstalling/reinstalling and rebooting repeatedly as well as using JavaRa. No such luck, still no go.
I looked in the registry after reading this post and there was no ...\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\ key so I added each with their respective string values pointing to my x86 version (PDFsam is a 32bit program). This got past the first problem but an error popped up about amd64 libraries suggesting the machine wanted to run the 64bit version. So I changed the paths to the 64bit JRE and PDFsam now works.
FYI - I got here by searching for Java registry keys after I was unable to launch javaw.exe from command prompt (even after adding the requisite paths to system path), making the aforementioned changes solved this as well.
I got this kind of error whe nI had JDK 1.7 before and I installed JAVA JDK 1.8 and pointed my JAVA_HOME and PATH variables to JAVA 1.8 version. When I try to find the java version I got this error. I restarted my machine, and it works . It seems to be we have to restart the machine after modifying the environment variables.
In case a virus scanner (like McAfee) is running, try:
Disable virus scanner
Uninstall Java (via Control Panel / Programs and Features)
Reinstall Java (from Java.com)
Re-enable virus scanner
Uninstall Java (via Control Panel / Programs and Features)
Install Java JRE 7 --> OFFLINE <--
Configure JAVA_HOME and Path = %JAVA_HOME%/bin;%PATH%
I have Windows 7. I got the same problem after installing: PyCharm.
I wasn't satisfied with PyCharm, so I decided to use Eclipse instead. This is when I discovered that things went wrong with my JDK. I used to have Java.9.x. So I decided to uninstall it and get the newer version (at my time it was Java.11.x. The same problem persisted.
I followed most of the steps mentioned above in the post like:
- Removing all java*.exe files,
- removing Java related entries from the registry.
- Cleaning-up all unnecessary Java folders. However nothing helped. I still had something in the system referring to a broken Java pathname.
What really brought remedy is the following:
- Uninstalled what ever version of JDK I had at the moment.
- Re-Installed the last JDK version I had before the problem took place
- Properly uninstall that version.
- Install whatever latest version of SDK. ..
That's it .. at this point everything returned to normal ... Except that Java.11.xx did not fix the system path automatically, I had to do it manually.
I followed multiple answers from above and got my issue resolved.
Issue:
Javac was on 13 from jdk but java was using 1.8 from jre so java threw incompatible runtime error
Fix:
Under Control Panel -> Programs: I uninstalled 1.8 (named Java 8 runtime) and DID NOT touch the other one (named Java (TM) SE Development Kit 13)
Deleted java.exe, javac.exe and javawc.exe files from:
a. C:\Windows\system32
b. C:\Windows\SysWOW64
c. C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath
The environment variable JDK_HOME was pointing to 13 but JAVA_HOME was pointing to 1.8 so i pointed JAVA_HOME to also use 13 which was C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-13.0.1
There was a Path variable under both User variables and system variables sections.
For the one in user variables section, i added the string %JDK_HOME% - which translated automatically to the physical path.
For the one under system variables, I deleted the path C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath and added C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-13.0.1\bin
All good now! Thanks to all the people who answered, you rock!
Make sure to delete java references from system32, SysWOW64, and delete javapath from ProgramData\Oracle\Java. It solves the issue
If you have "C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath" in your PATH, just make sure that the java bin path entries are present before this entry in your PATH.
I was facing the exact same issue, and I just moved the java jdk/jre bin path entries up in the list, above the oracle entry and it resolved my issue.
I am trying to work with Eclipse Helios on my x64 machine (Im pretty sure now that this problem could occur with any eclipse) but it just doesn't cooperate.
When I try to run eclipse I get the following:
I have installed
Helios EE x64 (latest version)
JDK 1.6.025 (x64)
I have linked my Environment Variables up correctly and tried to compile a Java file through cmd and have succeeded.
Whenever I tried running eclipse i get exit code=13 (required java version=1.5)
I tried running the following in cmd:
-vm "mypath\jdk1.6.025\jre\bin"
command as forums suggested
as well as other paths
-vm "mypath\jdk1.6.025\bin"
-vm "mypath\jdk1.6.025\jre\bin\javaw.exe"
even
-vm "mypath\jre6\bin" out of desperation
to no avail.
I am all out of ideas and I wonder if anybody had this problem. I even downloaded the helios x86 version and x86 JDK version yet it did not fix the problem. (I changed the environment variables)
I changed everything back but I'm stuck...
Related Question: Cannot Run Eclipse
It turns out that a directory had an ! in its name and eclipse had a problem with that.
Once I switched the directory (from Desktop which is located in the user directory which had ! in it to C:/ ) everything worked fine. (look at the Djava.class.path in the image located in my the question above for the whole path - it should make it clear what the problem was)
Vista allows you to create a username that contains ! character and then a lot of programs have issues with it
Update
If somebody is still getting this problem even though their path is ok I suggest
trying to look at the Environment Variables
then try uninstalling the Helios EE ( or any other version of ee you are running ) and JDK and then reinstalling the 86x versions of both (they should still work on the 64x platform).
for further explanation look here
Thank you everybody that tried to help
Please, check that your have downloaded the x64 version. ;)
And your installed Java, is x86. Use Eclipse x86 if you use Java x86.
Because your eclipse's env-arch was not matched with java-arch, for instance: eclipse-64bit run in java-32bit or vice versa.
In Windows: Set correct env path to the specific 32 or 64bit java acording to eclipse.
In Linux:
Try run: [path-to-eclipse]/eclipse -vm [jdk-path]/bin
What version of java is on your path when you start eclipse? Try entering java -version on a command prompt. You will want Sun java 1.5 or higher. See http://www.ehow.com/how_4784069_terminated-exit-code-error-eclipse.html
This turned out to be a permissions error for me. I change the kepler folder, eclipse root directory to have permissions set to everyone all. This is going to be a security risk so I will need to set the permissions to be program specific. using procmon.exe I found that javaw.exe was getting write permissions denied. The programmers of eclipse and javaw.exe did not give those programs elevated permissions to run as trustedinstaller.
I faced the same problem
Turned out my Java version in the PATH had been updated to 1.8
Once I changed this back to 1.7, my Eclipse started without issues
I just installed Eclipse 3.5. Before I could install the Android Plugin I needed to install a Java jdk, which I did. After restart Im not able to start Eclipse anymore, because I receive the following error:
Error: could not finde Java 2 Runtime
Environment
The weired thing is, that now I cant even open my other Eclipse Installations, that I use for PHP Programming. Any suggestions?
Update:
This is my eclipse.ini:
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.0.200.v20090519
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx256m
You can explicitely tell your eclipse session which jdk/jre you want it to start with adding the following in your eclipse.ini:
-vm
c:/your/jre/bin/javaw.exe
For more info on how to startup your eclipse refer here
I had a similar problem, with exception that Java was installed successfully.
Once I added c:/my-path-to-java/jre/bin to PATH (system environment variable), Eclipse started successfully.
Change the PATH environment variable from something like
...;%SystemRoot%\System32;...;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_17\bin;...
to something like
...;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_17\bin;...;%SystemRoot%\System32;...
Check your path variable from Computer's System Properties Environment Variables JAVA_HOME to ocorrect path to your jdk installation
Wonder if the Java install might be corrupt. Can you run the following on the Run prompt and paste what you get in code tags:
dir /d /s "%JAVA_HOME%" > "%HOMEPATH%\java2.txt" && notepad "%HOMEPATH%\java2.txt"
It makes sense that your PHP eclipse won't start either. Eclipse runs on java itself. Probably it cannot find the JRE.
so I see two possibilities:
The JRE is corrupt and you should reinstall it
Eclipse is getting confused by the 2 jre (unlikely to me) and you need to point it to the right one (as suggested by Dimistrisli).
I had the same issue. Eclipse (3.7) worked just fine for a while with JDK 6, and then I installed JRE 5 (please don't ask me why)
This eclipse wiki page, which seems up to date, states that:
If a JVM is installed in the eclipse/jre directory, Eclipse will use
it; otherwise the launcher will consult the eclipse.ini file and the
system path variable. Eclipse DOES NOT consult the JAVA_HOME
environment variable
And indeed, I did not change JAVA_HOME so that couldn't be it.
However, at the bottom of the same wiki page, someone added:
A comment on the JVM search order (on Windows) - My testing (Windows
7, Eclipse 3.4.1) shows that Eclipse also looks for a JVM in the
registry, in my case HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Runtime
Environment
So I found the mentioned registry entry, which now had the value of "1.5" and changed it to "1.6", then restarted my PC (windows 7), and voila - Eclipse went back alive.
I agree that adding "-vm" might fix this, although it didn't seem to work for me (maybe I didn't add it in the right place/format). But IMO, the registry fix was the better one in my case. After restarting my computer and seeing Eclipse was back to normal, I uninstalled JRE 5 (through "Add or remove programs") just to tie up loose ends.
In my case installing the most recent JRE worked well: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/overview/index.html
I had the same problem when I recently installed JDK 7 Update 9. My eclipse did not open and when I run "java -version" from CMD, it did not work either.
I had PATH variable set to the correct bin directory.
Anyways, eventually when I set JAVA_HOME to the new installation directory, eclipse started fine. Not sure what is the problem with JDK 7 Update 9.
Make sure everything is setup correctly under "installed JREs" under the Eclipse preferences.
The simple solution that worked for me, since other resolution required admin privilege is executing the below command from command prompt
eclipse -vm C:\Java\jdk1.7.0_72\bin\javaw
Also, to make the eclipse shortcut work by editing the shortcut.Append -vm C:\Java\jdk1.7.0_72\bin\javaw in the target section
