I was trying to make a Minecraft server and got the following error on startup:
Error occured during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
I tried everything I could find: I created CLASS and CLASSPATH environmental variables that went to my Java's bin folder. I re-installed java, making sure it was 64 bit, as my computer is. Still, I get this error. Does anyone know a solution?
You are attempting to allocate more RAM than your system will allow you to allocate.
In your startup script, lower the values of your Xmx/Xms arguments.
Run the JVM with -XX:MaxHeapSize=256m (or any big number), and possibly -Xmx512m
I've actually noticed this issue when you try and take a dump of a service running java.
Try using psexec -s to execute your dump
I'm not sure why this seems to work on some servers and not others
I had this same error. Running the cmd as Administrator resolved it.
I encountered this error when I was trying to build selenium webdriver. as suggested above by Rogue that we need to reduce the allocated memory in the arguments.
I changed java heap size arguments as below
java $JAVA_OPTS -Xmx256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=256m -jar third_party/jruby/jruby-complete.jar -X-C -S rake $*
I also faced this issue by My IntellijIDEA allocate more jvm memory space than system allocated.
My issued is resolved through just uninstall the JDK and install it again.
It happened to me also. My eclipse would not run. Uninstalled and reinstalled eclipse like 3 time and no luck. Came to this question during a google search, and Yasir's answer helped me out, because I also had IntelliJ installed into my DEV BOX recently. So deleted C:\Program Files\Java folder and reinstalled java into default install folder and it worked. I also had jdk in my system path from previous setup.
My issue was resolved after I reinstalled latest version of JDK.

I've got this version on jruby in Windows 10:
jruby 1.7.13 (1.9.3p392) 2014-06-24 43f133c on Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.7.0_80-b15 [Windows 8-x86]
and when I try to uninstall it from Control Panel I keep on getting the error:
The JVM could not be started. The maximum heap size (-Xmx) might be too large or an antivirus or firewall tool could block the execution.
Any idea what I could try to delete this installation? I tried reinstalling the .exe file, to see if it had an option to remove/repair, but nothing, it just reinstalled it and I still have the problem.
check your environment variables ... you might have JRUBY_OPTS or JAVA_OPTS set.
unset those or adjust the -Xmx setting accordingly.
No commands seem to work for me, at the end I had to do it through a specific software design for this kind of issues: http://www.perfectuninstaller.com/
I have a problem starting Intellij IDEA (15.0.3) in 64 bit mode. When clicking on the idea6.exe I get this error (Failed to create a JVM error code -6):
This is my configuration:
System:
Windows 7 - 64 bit - 16GB RAM
System Variables:
IDEA_JDK_64: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_74
JVM_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79
(1.7 version is needed for my dev activity)
vm options: idea64.exe.vmoptions left as default
As a trial: I've tried various combinations like system variables pointing to the same JDK path or also to increase -Xmx value in idea64.exe.vmoptions, but the error is still there.
What can the root cause be?
Thank you very much.
I solved problem in my case by deleting file C:\Users\username\.IdeaIC2016.2\idea.exe.vmoptions, because I created it before to customize VM options. File can have name idea64.exe.vmoptions if you overrode options under 64-bit version of Intellij IDEA.
Tracked it down to a mis-typed VM option in the end.
Somehow one of the lines in my idea64.exe.vmoptions file has been mis-typed. Instead of -XX:UseParNewGC I had -XX:USeParNewGC (note the unwanted extra capital letter).
Correcting that fixed the problem - so check your .vmoptions file for typos if you get the -6 error on startup.
And note that there may be several copies of this file. The default is in the installation folder (eg "Program Files (x86)\Jetbrains\Intellij 2016.1\bin\idea64exe.vmoptions"), but if you select "Help...Edit Custom VM Options" in the IDE it will create an override file in \Users\.IntellijIdea2016.1\idea64exe.vmoptions
I experienced the same issue with IntelliJ IDEA 2016.1.3 on 64bit Windows 7 with JDK1.8.0_92.
Executing idea.bat instead of idea.exe worked for me.
I think issue caused because you are using 32 bit launcher, and it has limitation as 4G for RAM.
So, if you will change value "-Xmx" to 2048 in c:\users\XXXXXX.WebStorm2016.3\webstorm.exe file -> this should help. Otherwise -> delete this file and wait when WebSrotm propose you to change it from IDE
Note: there are also webstorm.exe and webstorm64.exe files in your c:\Program Files
Had same problem, any option in studio64.exe.vmoptions led to this window.
Fixed by changing entry in PATH, it had old JDK folder, which pointed to different Java installation(Java 7) than JAVA_HOME(Java 8), after replacing it — Android Studio started normally with entries in studio64.exe.vmoptions file.
For me, using Intelli J Idea Community Version 2017.3, I found the idea.exe.vmoptions file in C:\Users\${UserName}.IdeaIC2017.3\config. I had increased the JVM Heap Memory to 4096MB from 512MB due to an earlier crash (-Xmx4096m). Changing to 1024MB seemed to do the job.
For me it worked once i deleted the vmoptions file created under the C:USERS.IntelliJIdea2017.2\config folder.
I just installed Android Studio on Elementary OS 0.3 Freya and run it using the terminal. On my first start-up, however, there's an error message shown:
Gradle 'Test' project refresh failed
Unable to start the daemon process. This problem might be caused by
incorrect configuration of the daemon. For example, an unrecognized
jvm option is used. Please refer to the user guide chapter on the
daemon at http://gradle.org/docs/2.2.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html
Please read the following process output to find out more:
Unrecognized VM option 'MaxPermSize=256m' Error: Could not create the
Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program
will exit.
I read this and tried all the ways to solve it but to no avail. I did notice that his error was somewhat different from mine and thought that might be why I couldn't solve my problem using the ways suggested.
As I executed the .sh file on my terminal, it printed:
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=250m;
support was removed in 8.0
(java:5094): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in
module_path: "pixmap"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
I'm not sure whether it's related to the error or not. Please help.
In my case I had a line
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx6408m -XX:MaxPermSize=6408m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
in my gradle.properties file in the project structure.
removing -XX:MaxPermSize=6408m from that file fixed an issue
As it was already said in this thread, Permanent Generation was removed in Java 8, which is used in your case. I think, the easiest solution is to remove parameters associated with Permanent Generation during program execution.
Go to the directory where you have Android Studio. Then go to the bin/ subdirectory. Locate the following files, which contains Java Virtual Machine options:
studio.vmoptions
studio64.vmoptions
Open these files and locate line with MaxPerSize parameter. It should look as follows:
XX:MaxPermSize=256m
Remove this line in both files. I don't know if you are using 32-bit or 64-bit operating system, so you can update both files just in case.
I'm not sure if it will solve your problem, but I would try it in such situation. In my case, with this option and Java 8, I just get the warning, but Android Studio starts anyway. After removing this parameter, Android Studio still starts, but without warning. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
EDIT:
There is another solution for this problem described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/27913562/1150795.
Go to File > Other Settings > Default Project Structure > JDK location and check the path.
In case of Ubuntu Linux, we can set /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle as default JDK if we are using Oracle JVM. JDK 7 is the safest option for Android.
-XX:MaxPermSize was deprecated in JDK 8, marked as obsolete in JDK 16, and removed in JDK 17. It was superseded by the -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize option.
Change -XX:MaxPermSize to -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize solve my problem.

In my case opening $ANDROID_HOME/tools/lib/monitor-x86_64/monitor.ini and removing
XX:MaxPermSize=256m
from it did the job.
Oh I've solved this problem, I install Oracle JDK 9 when android studio runs on JDK 6 or JDK 7 (if I'm not mistaken).
so I uninstalled Oracle JDK 9, then download and install the JDK 7.
On MacOS the following clause in ./gradlew injects this option:
# For Darwin, add options to specify how the application appears in the dock
if $darwin; then
GRADLE_OPTS="$GRADLE_OPTS \"-Xdock:name=$APP_NAME\" \"-Xdock:icon=$APP_HOME/media/gradle.icns\" \"-Xmx1024m\" \"-Xms256m\" \"-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m\""

This file can be edited by hand after the project has been generated.
i had the same issue and i was able to solve it by adding this directly in the terminal
export JAVA_VERSION=1.8
and then try the
I have Windows 7 64bit OS Installed on my laptop... When I open an application an error occurs:
"Java runtime environment not found"
in an error dialogue box.
I have tried to solve the issue by re-installing of JRE and Java. But error remain same.
Can somebody help me out.
Thank You.
There are couple of applications which are developed in Java and they run on JRE x86 and couple of them need JRE x64. Don't think too much on this, simply install both versions of JRE i.e JRE x86 and x64. I am sure that will fix the issue
You should check your "Path" environment variable. Try opening a command prompt and checking to see if it's finding java.
java -version
You could also try running your software via a *.bat file to make sure it's looking in the right place, as follows:
#echo on
SET PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin
java -jar MySoftware.jar
PATH
#echo off
when trying to start eclipse, i receive the message in the image.
when trying to start other instance of eclipse, i receive a message saying: "failed to create the java virtual machine".
How can i solve it?
try starting eclipse with -clean option
./eclipse -clean
If it still doesn't start check ".log" file for error. This file should be located in "workspace/.metadata" folder. Publish error from log to your question.
Also check Java version and JAVA_HOME and PATH on your system are set accordingly. Java version should be at least 1.5
The message "failed to create the java virtual machine" usually implies the failure to allocate enough memory for starting the JVM. This is often due to unavailability of sufficient contiguous free memory in RAM, or incorrect min and max heap sizes.
From the screenshot, it appears that the problem might not be with the min and max heap sizes, so you might want to take a look at the amount of free memory available when starting Eclipse (although that is no indicator of whether all free memory is contiguous).
To begin fixing this issue, you could start Eclipse from the command-line and observe the error messages reported if any. Then you could proceed to calibrate the JVM settings that are better suited to your installation (heavy plugins will require more memory), or change to another JVM.

What are the best JVM settings for Eclipse?
Go to C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\client\ and make sure that jvm.dll exists there.
Either way, you might want to try re-installing or updating Java on your machine.
To modify file eclipse/eclipse.ini, try a smaller number in attribute -Xmx, and restart.
Check your version of Java. Oracle accidentally broke Eclipse when they updated the vendor field from 'Sun Microsystems' to 'Oracle'.

Oracle was nice enough to change it back and release an update, which fixes Eclipse.
I had a similar problem when I installed JDK 64-bit version with an install of Eclipse 32-bit (didn't realize it until much searching and searching). Simple solution, but a shot none-the-less.
