Why am I getting the “Got an unexpected VM installation view” error in Mulesoft Anyponit Studio (Eclipse)?

Question

Why should everything around Java be so complicated? I am trying to run applications that run on computers of other users and get an error message:

Received unexpected VM installation view: null

Has anyone seen anything like this?

Anypoint Studio is a product provided by Mulesoft and based on Eclipse.
