Cannot start Eclipse on Ubuntu exit code = 13

I cannot seem to get Eclipse running on my Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS machine. I've installed, removed, reinstalled, purged, and reinstalled Eclipse to no avail.
I installed Eclipse using the Ubuntu repository:
# apt-get install eclipse
Some information about my machine:

I've read similar questions which instructed me to check the bitness, I am running a 64-bit OS with a 64-bit version of Java JDK, but I cannot seem to figure out how to check if my Eclipse installation is 64 or 32 bit (although I cannot imagine why apt-get would install a 32-bit package on my clearly 64-bit computer). Other questions suggested to check my eclipse.ini file, but I did not modify it from the default:

My Analysis
1)I have checked my system JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME path,javac and java version and have made changes in STS.ini after it failed to start but still I am not getting any result.
echo $JAVA_HOME
/home/jalaj/Java/Java8/jdk1.8.0_144
echo $JRE_HOME
/home/jalaj/Java/Java8/jre1.8.0_144
jalaj#jalaj-X540YA:~$ javac -version

Can anyone guide me how to resolve this issue.I have researched various threads about this error but couldn't find any solution.

It looks like your JAVA_HOME points to a 32bit JDK installation whereas the STS installation that you are trying to run is a 64bit installation. Make sure you have a 64bit JDK installed and configured.
In addition to that I also vaguely remember that you have the -vm option in the ini file as the first one in that file. But I am not sure if that is really related to the problem.

Eclipse doesn't launch (JVM terminated. Exit code=1)

This is my java version(on Debian 8 Jessie):
java version "1.8.0_05"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_05-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.5-b02, mixed mode)
And after successful installation, I get this message and program doesn't launch:

I have searched and tested many methods (for example installing java8-oracle) but it doesn't work at all!

Do not refer to /opt/jdk/jdk1.8/jre/bin/java directly. As it's a JDK, you should be using /opt/jdk/jdk1.8/bin/java.

Not sure if it is only issue, but UseStringDeduplication is available only from 8u20, while you are using 8u05. Please update java to latest available version - in addition to some new features, there is also a LOT of bugs fixes form early java 8 version, you don't want to be on receiving end of them.

I have recently had a similar problem for a version of Eclipse that has been running fine for years. I cut the -Xms (initial Java heap size) in half and Eclipse starts up again. I will wait along with you for a more intelligent solution.

Cannot start Eclipse Neon with JDK 9 on Ubuntu - Exit code=13

I have Java 9 on 64 bits:
$ java -version
java version "9-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9-ea+140)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9-ea+140, mixed mode)
$ javac -version
javac 9-ea
I installed Eclipse 4.5.0 (JEE Neon) on 64 bits under ~/eclipse/jee-neon/eclipse using the GUI (starting from eclipse-inst-linux64.tar.gz):
$ cat eclipse.ini | grep x86_64
/home/user/.p2/pool/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.400.v20160518-1444
When I run eclipse in the installation folder, I get a window containing the following error:

Edit:
the value for -vm is on a different line in eclipse.ini
changing the path value to /usr/lib/jvm/java-9-oracle/bin/java doesn't solve anything (and it doesn't seem to be a problem, because in the error message /java was already appended)
changing 1.8 to 1.9 in eclipse.ini (before running eclipse) didn't solve the problem
removing any of the duplicate lines (-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8) didn't solve the problem
being a Linux OS (Ubuntu) - there is no javaw executable
the Eclipse installation folder path looks like this /home/user/eclipse/jee-neon/eclipse, that dash (-) being the only character that could be considered "special"
My operating system is Ubuntu 16.04, also on 64 bits:
$ uname -i
x86_64

The problem might be caused by this issues, and can be solved with the following solutions.
You are using latest eclipse version and unsupported Java version.
Make sure you downloaded the 64-bit version of Eclipse as well as
64-bit version of Java software(of which you already have).
The -vm option and its value (the path) must be on separate lines.
The value must be the full absolute or relative path to the Java
executable, not just to the Java home directory. The -vm option
must occur before the -vmargs option, since everything after
-vmargs is passed directly to the JVM.
You have might have special characters like #, !, # in eclipse
installation directory. That is, if your eclipse installation
address contains any special characters, then it shows that error. So
make sure you don’t have any special characters.
If none solves,then try using Open-JDK

Can't start Eclipse Luna SR2 on Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

I want to learn how to program apps for Android, and have both a new build of Java installed as well as Eclipse Luna SR2 downloaded and extracted. However, it seems I am running into a problem in starting up; I'm not sure how to solve the issue, unless it could be that I need to change the Runtime Environment variables.
Here's the message the dialog box displays when I try to run the program through Command Prompt:

Could you please help me out here?

try this: go to System > Advanced system setting > Environment Variables
Under System variables :
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;
remove this
hope this helps

My best guess based on what I see here is that the JRE "bitness" doesn't match Eclipse.
What do you get when you type "java -version" on the command prompt?
If it's telling you that you've installed a 32-bit version of Java, you'll need to change that to a 64-bit version.
Also... "-startup C:\Users\Gregory\Documents\Eclipse
Luna\eclipse\plugins/org.clipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20140415-2008.jar" looks suspicious. There's a missing "e" in "...org.clipse.equinox...". Did you modify the eclipse.ini file?
