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 have formatted my Mac due to some storage issues. Before this, I used Eclipse in a proper way. Now i have installed the JDK
Then, i have installed Java
Until now everything seems to be correct but when I open the Eclipse installer...
What can I do to fix this? I need to work with this the soon as possible.
Thanks
Eclipse on macOS will not start with Java 14 installed, this is being tracked in Eclipse bug 561273.
Installing Java 8 as well does not help. You need to remove the Java 14 install. You could use the Java 13.0.2 release instead.
Eclipse have determined that the root cause of this issue is a change in Java 14 which is described in this bug report JDK-8238225. The fix for this should be in Java 14.0.1
Update: Eclipse runs fine with Oracle Java 14.0.1 so the issue has been fixed.
I also asked this question which was closed, that's why I answer what I have found out: Eclipse will not install on Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4, saying the above error message
Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine.
Deinstalling jdk and install an older one wouldn't help on its own because Eclipse is refusing to install in the first place (as mentioned above). What I have done:
i´ve installed an JDK with boost (you can try several, mine worked with Version 13)
I edited the installer:
Download the dmg file
convert the dmg-file with "hdiutil convert /dev/disk3s1 -format UDRW -o devimage"
mount the converted dmg-file with: "hdiutil attach -owners on devimage.dmg -shadow"
Edit the /Volumes/Eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/Info.plist: there is a section which is commented and there you can try the jdk version. You have to give the full path to the java executable, for example:
<string>-vm</string><string>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-13.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</string>
Then my eclipse started from the (already) mounted Eclipse image without complaining
I had the same issue myself a while back. In your Eclipsepedia it provided an example of what the eclipse.ini file looks like when your trying to specify a JVM. So just change the eclipse.ini file and then make sure that you have all of the correct documents in that path to match the example.
I am trying to use Eclipse on a friends computer but we keep getting this when we run Eclipse
We have the environmental variable set as well.
Edit
it was working before he installed the black berry plug in.
The variable JAVA_HOME is not required by Eclipse. If your Java installation does not put the Java executables in the PATH, you should add those manually.
A faster way to have your Eclipse up and running consists in modifying the eclipse.ini and using the -vm option.
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini#-vm_value:_Windows_Example
I had the same problem. For me, I needed the JDK. So I had to install the JDK. It should match the build platform that is, 64bit vs. 32bit windows. After that, I removed, the -vm line from the eclipse.ini file (the suggested fix). It was giving me the "Can't create virtual machine" error. The current release of JDK is version, 7 whereas the Android Developers Toolkit version of eclipse is currently based on JDK 6. But it seems to work. Eclipse came up and is functional. Haven't actually written a program yet.
Go to eclipse folder (where eclipse is installed) and open eclipse.ini file in your editor and add the following code after openFile tag.
-vm C:\Program Files\JDK6\bin\javaw.exe
That's all.
I had a similar problem, since our Java and JDK is consistently updated by our service desk, including uninstalling old JDKs. They take care of the PATH for us, but then the JRE that Eclipse was used to "seeing" was gone. So, the thing that has worked best for me is to modify the shortcut's "target" from:
"C:\Program Files\Eclipse\Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers\eclipse.exe"
to
"C:\Program Files\Eclipse\Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers\eclipse.exe" -vm "C:\Program Files\Java\<jdkver>\jre\bin\javaw.exe"
That will point Eclipse toward to the JRE in the JDK you want it to use, and then you can update that shortcut when your JDK updates.
This is on Windows 64bit, obviously.
It can also happen on mismatch of JAVA and Eclipse bit version.
for eg:
If in your System java is 32 bit and you are trying to install Eclipse of 64 bit then the same situation might occur.
Because Eclipse will look Java in Program Files while at the same time Java may be present in Program Files (x86).
So in this case eclipse will not get java and throw the same error.
While installing eclipse, Jre missing :
I solved my error as follows:-
This error may comes if you have 2 program files folder in your system.
"Program files" &
"Program files x86".
Please install JDK&JRE in the "Program files" folder.
Hope your jre missing error get solved.
this works for me:
open eclipse.ini file in your editor and add the line: -vm C:\Program Files\JDK11\bin\javaw.exe
update system PATH with correct JDK path.
I'm trying to install eclipse on maverick. I've installed Oracle java 1.7 and can launch eclipse using the link I found in the untared eclipse directory. However, when I pin the icon to the mac dock, trying to open eclipse using that icon results in 'Software Update' telling me 'To open "Eclipse," you need a java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install one now?'
I guess that this method of launching is somehow not using the eclipse.ini file in which I have used the -vm option to specify that eclipse be launched using the oracle 1.7 version of java on my system.
Anyone know how I can fix this? I wondered if I can edit a config file for the doc entry similar to the way I can add items to ubuntu's launcher perhaps?
I was able to fix this by running Apple's Mavericks Java fix. Even though the fix claims to install Java 6 it ended up just reconfiguring my already installed Java 7 and Eclipse is now able to run normally from the dock and command line. My default JVM is still java 7.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?viewlocale=en_US
Do you have the latest version of 1.7?
Oracle's Java version 7u25 and below have been disabled by Apple on OS X.
https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_mac.xml
Ah,your question solves me . After I update my MAC OS X to mavericks,I can not open my eclipse .I use "open Eclipse.app" or click eclipse on dock .It doesn't work .says"your need java se 6 runtime"
Then I follow your advice ,run "Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse",greet! I open it.
It seems this is the only way to run eclipse on mavericks~
I have a sneaky suspicion that I have a fix for this, but as my system has 1.6 in already I can't test it at the moment.
In the eclipse.ini file you will find the following vm arg; -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6 I have a suspicion that if you changed this line to
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7
you might find that you could launch eclipse without the need for java 6. OSGi is the technology that Eclipse uses to manage and run its plugins.
The location of eclipse.ini is dependent on the system but on a Mac you can find it in /Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.in.
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 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
