Eclipse (Mars) not starting after Java upgrade

Question

When I start an eclipse, I get this error. The -vm argument contains the java.exe path, which cannot be on my system after updating Java. How can i fix this? Java was started, but returned exit code = 13 C: /ProgramData/Oracle/java/javapath/java.exe .... This path does not exist on my system

Answer 1

My JVM seems to be 32-bit, and Eclipse is definitely 64-bit, perhaps the reason and the earlier location it referenced were to have 64-bit Java, which was removed throughout the update process somewhere. I think I’ll just download the 32-bit version of Eclipse Mars and this will solve the problem. -

Answer 2

 osgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6 

this line indicates the use of Java 6. If you updated JAVA, you should update this field.
