My eclipse won't start since a few days. If I manage to get one error message at start to go away, it will be another new one, or another that I thought I'd already fixed. I do not know what exactly I've done so far, but I'll summarize as far as I remember. One thing you should know: it was very much.
I tried to:
1. Setting the -Xms[WXYZ] variable to another values, like 256M, 512M, 1024M and 2048M in the
- eclipse.ini
- environment variables
2. Added in eclipse.ini before -vmargs
- -vm [absolute path to my jdk\bin\javaw.exe]
- -vm [absolute path to my jre\bin\server\jvm.dll]
3. Changed environment variables
- I don't know anymore what I've done there
4. At some point I tried something with the JAVA_HOME environment variable, but it does not helped at all.
I think that I've done so far all of these imaginable combinations.
I've deleted eclipse and reinstalled JRE and JDK, I think I've got nothing left.
Here are all of this pictures on imgur itself (because I can't post images).
It were a great help if anyone could help me with that problem.
Edit: The current error message is:
Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine.
Edit 02: Changed system variable _JAVA_OPTIONS from value in picture to -Xms512M
Edit 03: If i start eclipse with
[path to eclipse]\eclipse -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_202\bin\javaw.exe it stated that a runtime environment or development kit has to be available in order to run eclipse. It give me just C:\Program as location. However, if I take the absolute path and write it into the eclipse.ini, i get the same error message (Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine.)
if possible remove -vm P:\Programs\jdk1.6\bin line
more details in here Eclipse error: 'Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine'
Open the Control Panel
■ Go to System
■ Go to Advanced Systems Properties
■ Then Environment Variables
■ In System Variables, click Add
■ New Variable Name: _JAVA_OPTIONS
■ New Variable Value: -Xmx512M
■ Click OK
That's it, your Java program should now be able to execute properly.
For those interested, Java -Xmx/s is the configuration parameter that control the amount of memory Java uses.
■ Xmx sets the maximum heap memory size
■ Xms sets the minimum heap memory size
See http://www.jafaloo.com/2011/10/30/java-xmx-memory-settings/ for more details on Java Heap memory size and parameters.
I've done it.
The temporary newest Version of eclipse (2019-03) does NOT match with the newest Versions of JDK or JRE, as one of my lecturer told me.
So I head back to my favourite Version of eclipse; Luna. And I've got to delete all Java Version on my PC.
I have now Java 8 Update 202 on my PC. You can find it at this link, it is the jdk-8u201-windows-x64 (for Win10 64-bit) file.
JRE is included in this Version of Java.
Another zip`s of eclipse can be found at this link.
In my case, I had to configure the eclipse.ini file again:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_201\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8
--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM
I had to correct the -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=-Line and had to add the absolute path to my jvm.dll, as I had add the --add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM-line. I can't tell you if this is necessary.
You can check your Java Version via CMD-> java -version
Now I had to get to the system environment variables and had to change:
JAVA_OPTIONS to Value -Xms256m -Xms512m
JAVA_HOME to C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_202\bin
and had to add to the Path: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_201\bin and C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_202\bin
I could've set all [...]\jre1.8.0_202\bin[...] to [...]Java\jdk1.8.0_201\jre\bin, but I don't wanted anymore, I'm just happy to fixed it finally.
I had a similar problem on Windows 10. I upgraded my JDK to version 8 update 211 and added the following line to eclipse.ini just before the line containing -vmargs:
-vm
C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_211/bin/javaw.exe
It resolved the problem. Please consider using forward slash i.e. / instead of backslash.

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...

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:

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...
If I run my GWT application in eclipse in development mode and click around in the browser for some time, I always get an "out of memory" error in eclipse. My computer has 16 GB Ram, and there is never used more than 8GB.
I tried several config parameters. The VM-arguments in my Run configuration contain these parameters: "-Xms8192m -Xmx8192m"
Even in the eclipse.ini I tested several config parameters and now it looks like this:
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
8192M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
8192m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.appendVmargs
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
-Xms8192m
-Xmx8192m
But I still get the error. Is there any way to prevent this?
If the browser application is throwing the OutOfMemoryError, then you don't need to change the Eclipse settings (eclipse.ini), that's only for Eclipse itself (more memory, usually faster workbench).
To increase an app's memory (any Java app launched from Eclipse), go to the Run/Debug configurations... in the Run menu and set the VM arguments on the Arguments tab of the app's run config:
-Xms128M -Xmx1024M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M
put this in vm arguments in your run configurations:
-Xmx2048M -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
If I run my GWT application in eclipse in development mode and click around in the browser for some time, I always get an "out of memory" error in eclipse.
Not exactly sure what the problem is but I do see some issues with your current arguments.
You have 2 launcher args that are the same. You don't need the 2nd entry of:
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
8192M
I really doubt that you want 8g of PermSize. Something like 512m is probably much better. You can use jconsole to see how much memory is in the perm space bucket. In the below image taken from jconsole's memory tab, the bar highlighted at the bottom right shows the "Perm Gen" space. Right now it is using 26,906kb (or around 27mb). That's where code goes and it often has to be increased if you have many JSP pages which get compiled as well.
If you run your application with the following params you should be able to connect with jconsole to see how it's doing:
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
I suspect that you are going to see that you are using far, far less in the "Perm Gen" space. The -Xmx8192m (or -Xmx8g) is all you need typically. It will give 8gb of memory to the heap in general which is typically short lived objects. It also scales the various different memory partitions accordingly.
For more information about various heap spaces see the Java hotspot documentation.
I'm having issue with running my Eclipse with the following config:
eclipse.ini
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.100.v20110502
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vm
jdk1.7.0_02/bin
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
-Xms256M
-Xmx1024M
# Adding this line, I get "Failed to create virtual machine"
-XX:PermSize=512M
-XX:MaxPermSize=512M
-XX:+UseParallelOldGC
-XX:ParallelGCThreads=2
-XX:ThreadPriorityPolicy=1
-Xverify:none
-XX:-UseSplitVerifier
The above configuration works except when I add the lines I specified above. What could be the problem?
I am running eclipse from a Windows 7 (64-bit) machine with 4GB ram, although the JDK I specified in the path is 32-bit which works just fine. The only problem is if I add those additional config parameters.
There are two place in eclipse.ini that includes
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
make it
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
128m
I had exactly the same problem, one day eclipse wouldn't open. Tried editing eclipse.ini to the correct java version 1.7, but still the same error. Eventually changed :
-Xms384m
-Xmx384m
...and all working.
it works for me after changing MaxPermSize=512M to MaxPermSize=256M
Change the below parameter in the eclipse.ini (which is in the same directory as eclipse.exe) to match one of your current Java version. Note that I also changed the maximum memory allowed for the eclipse process (which is run in a JVM). If you having multiple Java versions installed this can be happen. The below trick word for me.
-Xmx512m
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
I cahanged this to,
-Xmx1024m
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7
Then It worked...
Reduce the memory size to Xmx512m and it works.

I deleted my eclipse.ini after non of the above worked for me.
I fully expected the next run (when it looked likely to work) to recreate it so I could compare but it did not.
So I can't tell what fixed it specifically.
an oddity I did have however was jdk 1.7 but when I ran
C:\Users\jonathan.hardcastle>java -version
Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion'
has value '1.7', but '1.6' is required.
Error: could not find java.dll
Error: could not find Java SE Runtime Environment.
i got the above.. so I (re?)installed jre 1.7 specifically and that went away.
This was not linked to my eclipse success directly.
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
MaxPermSize=256m
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m
replace with below one
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
MaxPermSize=128m
-Xms256m
-Xmx512
m
You can also try closing other programs. :)
It's pretty simple, but worked for me. In my case the VM just don't had enough memory to run, and i got the same message. So i had to clean up the ram, by closing unnecessary programs.
Just add your JDK path in windows environment variable. This solves in my case
I had the same problem, I've fixed it very simple by updating my JDK version. If you don't have JDK installed or not updated, please Go here and install/update it. Mostly your problem will be fixed.
In my case reducing Xmx1024m to something smaller e.g Xmx512m make it works. So from all the responses (above and in similar other sites), it seems that you may try to massage/reduce the memory size.
I have added below line and its working fine.
-vm C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_16/bin/javax.exe
-Xmx512m
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
You can do a workaround as below:
Create a shortcut for eclipse and right click on the short cut and go to properties of the shortcut.
In the target box update the string:
-vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin"
the path will change according to your java installed directory.
So after changing the target string will be something like below.
D:\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20131030\eclipse\eclipse.exe -vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin"
Click apply and try clicking the Eclipse shortcut.
Try to open eclipse.ini and replace
-Xmx1024m
with
-Xmx512m
My java version is 1.7 as you can see below
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7
so i didn't modify that parameter.
This worked for me ;-)
For me it was a memory issue. If I run tomcat with my (large) webapp then try to start Eclipse, I get the Eclipse error. If I start Eclipse first, then start tomcat and my webapp, all works as expected.
Recently i encounter this issue and try all of the above method but none of them works for me.
Here is another Trick for to solve this error is
i just delete the eclipse configuration file and eclipse start working.. i don't know why but it works.
Maybe this helps someone else.
If Anybody Is using prior version then Jdk 8 update 20 and getting this Issue
Please Remove the following from eclipse.ini file
-XX:+UseStringDeduplication
As StringDeduplication was added in later version of JDK 8 in update 20
For StringDeduplication Clarification check this By Fabian Lange
https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2014/08/string-deduplication-new-feature-java-8-update-20-2/
I had also entered the path of MinGW complier for C++. After removing it, the error disappeared.
I tried several methods but didn't work. The only one that did is the one right at the bottom. I'll just list the other options I tried as well, for reference.
Some background, I migrated from Mars to Neon and copied over eclipse.ini almost exactly.
Reduce -XX:MaxPermSize and -Xmx
Like other answers have mentioned, progressively reduce these 2 flags (eg to 128m) and try again. If it still doesn't work at 128m then try other options below.
Find the offending flag by renaming eclipse.ini
Jon H's answer gave me a hint. Delete eclipse.ini (or rename it) and start eclipse. It should regen eclipse.ini and launch successfully (mine didn't regen eclipse.ini though eclipse launched fine).
If eclipse.ini did regen for you, then add each flag back one-by-one.
If not, revert the original eclipse.ini and remove each flag one-by-one until you've found the flag that causes an error.
For my case, I upgraded from Mars to Neon. The offending flag was -XX:+UseG1GC Removing this flag (and only this flag) worked for me. Setting back -Xmx and -XX:MaxPermSize to 1G worked for me as well.
It works for me after removing -XX:+UseParallelOldGC option from file.
Change target to specific installation file
like below
Target: D:\SoftWares\oepe-12.1.3.1-luna-maf-distro-win32-x86_64old\eclipse.exe -vm D:\delete\jdk1.7.0_67\bin\javaw.exe
