This is a similar issue to:
Eclipse can't find jdk installed with sdkman
I am still facing the issue on Mac (macos-mojave)
Both of my
/usr/bin/java
/usr/bin/javac
are pointing to
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/javac
respectively.
SDKMAN! does install the proper java and javac for the SDKMAN!'s default Java version.
Thus, I do have proper java and javac:
% java -version
openjdk version "11.0.3" 2019-04-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.3+7)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.3+7, mixed mode)
% javac -version
javac 11.0.3
However, I do not have any Java versions installed in:
ls -la /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 64 Jun 19 10:06 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 128 Apr 16 06:16 ..
EDIT:
I also tried updating the JVM reference in /Applications/SpringToolSuite4.app/Contents/Eclipse/SpringToolSuite4.ini (comparable to Eclipse.ini):
-vm
/Users/johndoe/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin/java
-startup

-XX:+UseStringDeduplication
--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM
-XstartOnFirstThread
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts
-Xdock:icon=../Resources/sts4.icns
I do get a splash screen for STS, but it still reports no JVMs installed (see screenshots)
And it seems both Eclipse.app and SpringToolSuite4.app require proper JDK installed traditionally, not using SDKMAN!
I really don't want to install another JDK besides SDKMAN!
Anyone got this to work?
Thanks!
Here is how I got it working [1] on MacOS Catalina.
I had to set the -vm path in my eclipse.ini to:
/Users/<YOUR_USER>/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/lib/jli/libjli.dylib
Apparently Eclipse on MacOS always uses JNI invocation to load the VM [2] so I had to make it point to the libjli.dylib instead of the regular java executable.

If the Eclipse launcher cannot find a suitable JVM to run on (which I am assuming is the problem here), you can usually work around this by pointing the 'eclipse.ini' (or 'STS.ini' as the case may be) to the JVM of your choice.
To do this, open the .ini file in a text editor and add two lines at the front of the file. Something like this:
-vm
/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-1.8.0/bin/java
... the rest of the file unchanged...
Note it is important that:
1) these lines are the very first in the file
2) they are on two separate lines (don't try to put both -vm and path of the jvm executable on a single line, it doesn't work).
I faced this problem on macOS Sierra while trying to use OpenJDK 11.0.2 installed by SDKMAN! in conjunction with Eclipse 2019-06. No other SDKs installed.
macOS consistently seems to refuse launching Eclipse.app for almost all combinations of -vm parameters I supplied in Info.plist and eclipse.ini, except for links to /System/Library/.
Here is my working setup:
I did an sdk default java 11.0.2-open rather than just sdk use.
I made sure SDKMAN! symlinked JDK command binaries properly into the /System/Library path:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 75 1 Mai 2017 /usr/bin/java -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java
Although the symlink destination is not a link anymore, it is the binary that SDKMAN! deployed there. Check it with the -version.
I made sure no <string>-vm</string> parameter is present in Info.plist. All commented out.
My -vm arg in eclipse.ini is:
-vm
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java
As stated previously, make sure this statement appears before -vmargs.
This finally allows me to launch a recent Eclipse by double-clicking in the Finder or launching the eclipse binary directly. Hope this applies to STS as well.
Good luck.

I just downloaded and dearchived android SDK for Windows. I`m currently using W8 64x.
The error message points to a problem with your Java version. Do you have a JDK installed?
Try adding the following (noting the new line):
/!\ make sure, that the -vm option occurs before the -vmargs command.
Everything after -vmargs is passed directly to the JVM.
-vm
c:/wherever/java/jdk1.6.0_21/jre/bin/server/jvm.dll
-vmargs...
...to your eclipse.ini file, pointing to the JDK you want to use, and check that the required Java version is at least as new as your JDK. This is the path for a Windows system. More on paths can be found here (scroll down).
If you don't know where the eclipse.ini file is: regularly it is in the folder of your eclipse.exe.
Edit2: #KadoLakatt: the reason why installing the latest Java Version worked for you is because Eclipse checks the standard path for a JVM if it doesn't find a -vm entry (see here). However I'd not recommend that, since you might be wrong guessing the JVM used. If you update Java (automatically?) you might run into problems in your Eclipse wondering what you might have changed. Better set it to a specific folder in your eclipse.ini to be certain.
I received this error out of the blue. Eclipse stopped working even though I made no config changes and did not install any new jdk's.
Here was my eclipse.ini file :
--clean

I have no idea why removing osgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6 fixed this as my jvm version is 1.6. From the doc http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fmisc%2Fruntime-options.html
osgi.requiredJavaVersion
The minimum java version that is required to launch Eclipse. The default value is "1.4.1".
I think my java version was set correctly. Anyway Eclipse starts and runs for me now......
it can be like this as well:
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\server\jvm.dll
Working combinations of OS, JDK and eclipse bitness.
32-bit OS , 32-bit JDK , 32-bit Eclipse (32-bit only)
64-bit OS , 32-bit JDK , 32-bit Eclipse
64-bit OS , 64-bit JDK , 64bit Eclipse (64-bit only)
Kindly use 1 of the above combinations.
Adding -vm parameters works for me.
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
For those of you who tried all the above answers without any success, try lowering your -Xms value. I am required to support an older Eclipse (Weblogic Eclipse 10.3.6) - I had the following .ini on my Windows 7 machine and my Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise VM (the Java version below points to a 32-bit Java) that had worked and were working perfectly, respectively.
-vm
C:/Java/Java7/jdk1.7.0_79/bin/javaw.exe
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20120522-1813.jar

So a 32-bit Java for a 32-bit Eclipse, but still exit code 1. Based on all answers I had seen here, and the only change being a new laptop with Windows 10, the only possible explanation was that the new OS and the Eclipse were disagreeing on something. So I started playing around with each of the values, and it worked when I lowered both Xms and Xmx to 512m. I have a hunch that possibly the new Windows OS is preventing a higher initial heap size based on some run condition (the higher -Xms does work on Windows 10 on all other similar devices I came across) - so any other explanation is welcome. Meanwhile following is the only value I tweaked to successfully launch Eclipse.
-Xms512m
I've encountered similar problems. The reason is that the path to my eclipse includes Chinese characters. Once those characters are deleted, the problem is solved. Please check if there are characters other than English in your path.
I had same issue in my windows 7, 64-bit machine. Then I downloaded and installed 64 bit jdk for Java(which includes jre). This solved the issue.
I too faced the similar issue , not solved after adding the command in eclipse.ini file. My root cause is different. I was experimenting on sequence diagrams using objectaid. This is throwing an exception and disturbed my workspace. You may have different issue when working on new plugins. Better you check the log file located in your project work-space C:\path\to\workspace\.metadata\.log
This can be resolved by adding the following line to the eclipse.ini file
-XX:-UseCompressedOops
I had the same issue which was caused due to crash shutdown of my windows 10. Earlier in the path I had Oracle path ie the path inserted by Oracle at the time of installation of JDK. I removed it and changed the path to the JDK location. This solved the problem.
Mine is a 64 bit system with 64bit java installation.
what worked for me was the following:
Goto the eclipse installation directory
right click the eclipse icon and click "send to desktop as shortcut"
Then right click on the shortcut icon in the desktop and then > properties > shortcut tab
In the target field point it to the correct java 64 bit installations home path using the vm argument with the java_home path enclosed in quotes like so :
D:\Scala_eclipse\eclipse.exe -vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_11"
This almost always solves all my Eclipse (scala eclipse as well) related problems.
As mentioned in the answer , please make sure you are using the right combination of eclipse and java
If you have java 8 installed it might be related to the following issue:
https://support.oracle.com/knowledge/Middleware/2412304_1.html
Simply removing/renaming the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath" worked for me.
Directly changing eclipse file is not a good idea, no matter facet or ini, unless it could be changed in eclipse. Had the same problem, with jdk1.8 installed. Change it to jdk 1.7.
Besides, according to https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Installation, both LUNA and MARS need 1.7. So just ensure you have it installed.
1 ) Open the SpringToolSuite4.ini File.
2 ) Search For the openFile.
3 ) Provide the jvm.dll file location in SpringToolSuite4.ini
4 ) Note : Provide the New Line between -vm and your jvm.dll file location path.as shown below.
openFile
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jre8\bin\server\jvm.dll
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8
-Xms256m
i had Java Run time environment and Java SDK both on my machine. I removed Java Run time environment and it resolved my error.
Earlier this error, i was using elipse with Java SDK only and later had installed JRE specifically for one need.
just to add here...For the guys those who still couldn't start eclipse due same error, please check eclipse.ini file again and see have you forgot to put M after memory size.
For example:
-Xmx1024
or
-Xmx1024MB
or
-Xmx1024 M
or
-Xmx1024 mb
or
-Xmx1024mb
are incorrect, it should be -Xmx1024M. I have been trying different ideas from SOF and from other forums, and in this cut/paste I forgot that I missed M (such a little thing to miss), so I thought I should share. If it works for some of you please up-vote.
I had this issue recently, but I hadn't changed any java or updated the java version, May be this issue happened because of crash shutdown of the system.
And after reading a couple of answers here I decided to change the java version from 1.6 to 1.7 in the eclipse.ini file.
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
After this change the Eclipse started well and it worked. Since I didnt had changed anything i decided to change it back to 1.6 to what it was originally.
Then I started eclipse and guess what it worked. So Looks like in my case just touching/modifiying the eclipse.ini file worked.
I hope this answer is helpful to somebody.
If none of the solutions works, please check if you have more than one version of java installed on your machine. Please keep only one version which you prefer and everything should work fine.
None of the above answers helped for me. I discovered that, in general, an error like that could mean that your eclipse.ini has an invalid entry. So, all the above answers could be correct, depending on your particular case. In my case, it turned out I added a locale argument with a typo in it.
I tried to change the path in the parameter -vm, but it did not help. Then I deleted the parameter -vm and -vmargs from the eclipse.ini.
It worked for me
My path of -javaagent argument was having Spacial characters like '&'. I placed the Lambok jar in different place and gave the path to that place. It worked for me.
previously it was
-javaagent:C:\Software & Tool\lambok.jar
i changed it to
-javaagent:C:\Labmok\lambok.jar
Please check your computer and if Java JRE not install download and install it.
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html
If install please check is it 32 bit or 64 bit as per your operating system
To check for 32 or 64-bit JVM, run:
$ java -d64 -version
$ java -d32 -version
Error: This Java instance does not support a X-bit JVM.
Please install the desired version.
Open the Eclipse Installation Folder on Windows Machine
Find the eclipse.ini
Open the eclipse.ini File and add the below two lines before -vmargs
-vm
C:\Users\IshaqKhan\jdk1.8.0_173\bin\javaw.exe
This work for me in eclipse js and eclipse php:
-vm
C:/java/jdk-11.0.1/bin/javaw.exe
--launcher.appendVmargs
-vmargs
I had a similar issue. I opened my eclipse.ini file and noticed that I configured at the end some lines for the lombok library in the past. The path to my lombok jar file was no more valid. After correcting it, my eclipse was working like a charm again. In conclusion, my piece of advice would be to verify that all the paths configured in this file are valid.
eclipse.ini :
-...
-javaagent:C:\some\path\to\lombok.jar
-Xbootclasspath/a:C:\some\path\to\lombok.jar
JAVA Path could be incorrect
Trying above solution didn't help me.
So i checked java --version on command prompt, which gave virtualization conflict. It seemed installation of virtualization software on system had messed up environment variables.
Hence I checked JAVA_HOME which was on correct path, then checked system variable PATH which had correct JAVA bin path as well, so removed 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath' and checked java --version on command prompt again, which gave correct value and also fixed above issue of eclipse start.
On Windows 10, removing
-XstartOnFirstThread
from the eclipse.ini fixed the issue for me
Go to eclipse folder and then go Configuration Setting file
change the below path under -vm tag in config file
Note- you need to mention new java path with bin and then javaw.exe like below
-vm
java path/bin/javaw.exe
It should work. Thanks.
if it says
c:/program files/java/jre/bin/server/jvm.dll not found
then copy the jre from jdk folder and paste it outside the jdk folder . and then try again...

This is throwing an exception and disturbed my workspace. You may have different issue when working on new plugins. Better you check the log file located in your project work-space C:\path\to\workspace\.metadata\.log
This can be resolved by adding the following line to the eclipse.ini file
-XX:-UseCompressedOops
I had the same issue which was caused due to crash shutdown of my windows 10. Earlier in the path I had Oracle path ie the path inserted by Oracle at the time of installation of JDK. I removed it and changed the path to the JDK location. This solved the problem.
Mine is a 64 bit system with 64bit java installation.
what worked for me was the following:
Goto the eclipse installation directory
right click the eclipse icon and click "send to desktop as shortcut"
Then right click on the shortcut icon in the desktop and then > properties > shortcut tab
In the target field point it to the correct java 64 bit installations home path using the vm argument with the java_home path enclosed in quotes like so :
D:\Scala_eclipse\eclipse.exe -vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_11"
This almost always solves all my Eclipse (scala eclipse as well) related problems.
As mentioned in the answer , please make sure you are using the right combination of eclipse and java
If you have java 8 installed it might be related to the following issue:
https://support.oracle.com/knowledge/Middleware/2412304_1.html
Simply removing/renaming the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath" worked for me.
Directly changing eclipse file is not a good idea, no matter facet or ini, unless it could be changed in eclipse. Had the same problem, with jdk1.8 installed. Change it to jdk 1.7.
Besides, according to https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Installation, both LUNA and MARS need 1.7. So just ensure you have it installed.
1 ) Open the SpringToolSuite4.ini File.
2 ) Search For the openFile.
3 ) Provide the jvm.dll file location in SpringToolSuite4.ini
4 ) Note : Provide the New Line between -vm and your jvm.dll file location path.as shown below.
openFile
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jre8\bin\server\jvm.dll
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8
-Xms256m
i had Java Run time environment and Java SDK both on my machine. I removed Java Run time environment and it resolved my error.
Earlier this error, i was using elipse with Java SDK only and later had installed JRE specifically for one need.
just to add here...For the guys those who still couldn't start eclipse due same error, please check eclipse.ini file again and see have you forgot to put M after memory size.
For example:
-Xmx1024
or
-Xmx1024MB
or
-Xmx1024 M
or
-Xmx1024 mb
or
-Xmx1024mb
are incorrect, it should be -Xmx1024M. I have been trying different ideas from SOF and from other forums, and in this cut/paste I forgot that I missed M (such a little thing to miss), so I thought I should share. If it works for some of you please up-vote.
I had this issue recently, but I hadn't changed any java or updated the java version, May be this issue happened because of crash shutdown of the system.
And after reading a couple of answers here I decided to change the java version from 1.6 to 1.7 in the eclipse.ini file.
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
After this change the Eclipse started well and it worked. Since I didnt had changed anything i decided to change it back to 1.6 to what it was originally.
Then I started eclipse and guess what it worked. So Looks like in my case just touching/modifiying the eclipse.ini file worked.
I hope this answer is helpful to somebody.
If none of the solutions works, please check if you have more than one version of java installed on your machine. Please keep only one version which you prefer and everything should work fine.
None of the above answers helped for me. I discovered that, in general, an error like that could mean that your eclipse.ini has an invalid entry. So, all the above answers could be correct, depending on your particular case. In my case, it turned out I added a locale argument with a typo in it.
I tried to change the path in the parameter -vm, but it did not help. Then I deleted the parameter -vm and -vmargs from the eclipse.ini.
It worked for me
My path of -javaagent argument was having Spacial characters like '&'. I placed the Lambok jar in different place and gave the path to that place. It worked for me.
previously it was
-javaagent:C:\Software & Tool\lambok.jar
i changed it to
-javaagent:C:\Labmok\lambok.jar
Please check your computer and if Java JRE not install download and install it.
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html
If install please check is it 32 bit or 64 bit as per your operating system
To check for 32 or 64-bit JVM, run:
$ java -d64 -version
$ java -d32 -version
Error: This Java instance does not support a X-bit JVM.
Please install the desired version.
Open the Eclipse Installation Folder on Windows Machine
Find the eclipse.ini
Open the eclipse.ini File and add the below two lines before -vmargs
-vm
C:\Users\IshaqKhan\jdk1.8.0_173\bin\javaw.exe
This work for me in eclipse js and eclipse php:
-vm
C:/java/jdk-11.0.1/bin/javaw.exe
--launcher.appendVmargs
-vmargs
I had a similar issue. I opened my eclipse.ini file and noticed that I configured at the end some lines for the lombok library in the past. The path to my lombok jar file was no more valid. After correcting it, my eclipse was working like a charm again. In conclusion, my piece of advice would be to verify that all the paths configured in this file are valid.
eclipse.ini :
-...
-javaagent:C:\some\path\to\lombok.jar
-Xbootclasspath/a:C:\some\path\to\lombok.jar
JAVA Path could be incorrect
Trying above solution didn't help me.
So i checked java --version on command prompt, which gave virtualization conflict. It seemed installation of virtualization software on system had messed up environment variables.
Hence I checked JAVA_HOME which was on correct path, then checked system variable PATH which had correct JAVA bin path as well, so removed 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath' and checked java --version on command prompt again, which gave correct value and also fixed above issue of eclipse start.
On Windows 10, removing
-XstartOnFirstThread
from the eclipse.ini fixed the issue for me
Go to eclipse folder and then go Configuration Setting file
change the below path under -vm tag in config file
Note- you need to mention new java path with bin and then javaw.exe like below
-vm
java path/bin/javaw.exe
It should work. Thanks.
if it says
c:/program files/java/jre/bin/server/jvm.dll not found
then copy the jre from jdk folder and paste it outside the jdk folder . and then try again...
So I installed STS a while back now onto my Windows 7 64-bit machine, every time I try run STS I get the attached Java exit code=13 error below.
I don't have have Eclipse installed into my machine, I mention this because every time I have tried to Google this error code threads about the same issue happening on Eclipse come up.
I have also tried checking if Java is installed on my machine which it is.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
First you need to check that you are using 64 bit java.
Next you need to point to that version of java in your STS.ini file.
You can do this by specifying the -vm option in the STS.ini file. The -vm option must be placed after the other Eclipse-specific options (such as -product, --launcher.*, etc), but before the -vmargs option.
-vm argument might look like:
-vm
C:\jdk1.7.0_21\bin\javaw.exe
or
-vm C:\jdk1.7.0_21\bin\javaw.exe
or
-vm C:\jdk1.7.0_21\jre\bin\java.exe
If you encounter Java was started but returned exit code=1 point the `-vm option to jvm.dll
-vm
C:\Development\Java\64bit\jdk1.7.0_09\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
Here is how I added it in my STS.ini file.
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.100.v20150511-1540.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.300.v20150602-1417

Stack overflow answer by DNA to similar question
I faced this issue due to my java update.
So below is the cause
Or java 64 bit and eclipse 32 bit version
You have java version 32 bit and eclipse 64 bit version
External cause, if you have two version of java installed(32 bit and 64 bit), if one got updated means your path variable pointing to
java will change.
Solution:-
Check your java version is 32 bit or 64 bit with command below
java -d64 -version
If It's 64 bit it will show
java version "1.8.0_181"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_181-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.181-b13, mixed mode)
If It's not
It will show something like this
Error: This Java instance does not support a 64-bit JVM.
Please install the desired version.
Based on the java version change your STS, to either 32 bit or 64 bit.
Check that you are using correct java version for your OS architecture, 32 or 64 bits
STS mostly ends up with error code 13 if you are using for the first time. Here is a fix to the problem. Please visit this link I found here https://youtu.be/cMClVM6rzuc.
here is the summary of the solution
- The Error while launching STS is mostly because you have downloaded 32 bit STS bundle from spring.io website. you need to check your system architecture and download the appropriate version. You can watch the video for detailed information. I am 100% sure you will find your solution
If you dowloaded 64 bits version of STS Spring,
check the version of java you have by taping in cmd :
java -d64 -version
If you dont have the jre 64 bits, install it and it will work .
I removed C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath from the PATH environment variable. It worked for me then. So basically it's a path variable issue.
please make sure you download the 64bit version from https://spring.io/tools/sts/all.
On the STS page, the Download STS button downloads the version for 32-bit Windows by default. Under the download button, click See all versions (https://spring.io/tools/sts/all). From there you can click the menu button and select the 64-bit Windows version.
Just install 32-bit JRE (if you have 64 bit already installed) and point -vm to this 32-bit JRE as mentioned above.
So basically when you go to Spring website, it doesnt understand your client OS and prompts you to download 32 bit version. I faced the same issue and explicitly had to download 64 bit version, by clicking on "see all versions". Also some suggested removing "C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath" entry from Path, but while it is true if you have actually downloaded JDK 1.8, it is not going to help resolve the specific issue here.
Open "SpringToolSuite4.ini" or sts.ini and make sure you have javaw.exe path in .ini file.
-vm
D:\Projects\Softwares\JDK\bin\javaw.exe
File should look similar as below.
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.5.400.v20190515-0925.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.1000.v20190125-2016
-product
org.springframework.boot.ide.branding.sts4
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vm
D:\Projects\Softwares\JDK\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8
-Xms256m
-Xmx1024m
-XX:+UseG1GC
-XX:+UseStringDeduplication
--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM
You likely installed the default version of STS from the spring.io website which is normally the 32 bit version.
Click to see all versions and download the windows 64 bit version from the next page.
Good luck.
By Removing following java path from environment variables path is fixed the issue.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath
Have another jdk in path.
Initial I uninstall another Java SE Development Kit , next I added the follow path in the *SpringToolSuite4.ini in my case:
*(depends of your IDE that you´ve installed)
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\bin\java.exe**
You just need to reinstall JDK(same or latest version) and STS(not always required).
First of all, please check your STS path. Remove if there is any special character such as # or etc in your path. After verify this, please go for any of the above solutions ;)
The first step is like the is already related above: open the document parameters of configuration "STS" and send the commands below to "openFile":
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.2\bin\javaw.exe
To check the version of JDK, on your prompt do the command:
java -version
You will find in "build".
If you still having the problem with JDK path not finded, the path to found your JDK on pc is:
my computer -> archives and programs -> java -> jdk -> bin -> javaw
when you reach at this, click and inspect the properties of and copy the route to put on command after -vm.
Ok, so I've been using eclipse Luna for a bit now with the Java 6 and all. Today, I decided it was time to update to Java 7. I did so by going to the Oracle site, downloading the Java 7 run time environment, and it said it would install. I let it install, but it told me that it detected previous versions of java (java 6) that it wanted to uninstall. I don't know a lot about the process and assumed it was fine and this probably isn't the problem anyway. But it installed, and when I tried to run things in eclipse, it gave me an error. So I restarted Eclipse. Suddenly, it wouldn't start giving me the error code 13. Then, I re installed Eclipse Luna. Now I get the same error and am worried I totally screwed up my Java. Can you help? I can also post the error report it gives me.

I have minimal knowledge on this process however, if my educated guess is right, Luna is based on 1.6-1.7 and since I apparently have 1.8.0_31, I need a more updated version.
If you know how to help, please explain thoroughly, so I can understand as much as possible
Thanks in advance
-Jared.
You should also install correct JDK version.
