Eclipse does not begin

When I try to start eclipse, I get the following error window:

I ran into the same problem and was resolved by changing the -Xmx value to a lower value in eclipse.ini.

The old configuration was:

 -vm C:/your_appication/jvm/jvm160_32/jre/bin/javaw.exe -vmargs -Xms128m -Xmx1024m

New configuration:

 -vm C:/your_appication/jvm/jvm160_32/jre/bin/javaw.exe -vmargs -Xms128m -Xmx256m

nasaa · Answer 2 · 2012-10-04T09:46:51+0000

I fixed this problem by deleting javaw.exe. Mine was in C: /Windows/system32/javaw.exe

Preethi · Answer 3 · 2012-12-05T07:58:29+0000

At the command prompt, call

eclipse -clean

This will start eclipse successfully. It worked for me.

nitind · Answer 4 · 2012-04-20T21:53:27+0000

Is this the default eclipse.ini, or has it been edited? "openFile" should be on the line after "--launcher.defaultAction"

cyberbemon · Answer 5 · 2012-04-20T09:10:33+0000

Add this line to .ini

-vm

c:/apps/java/jdk1.6.0_21/jre/bin/server/jvm.dll If this does not help, check and see that you downloaded eclipse (32 / 64bit) correctly. Reinstall the JDK and JRE to the latest versions, see if this helps.

moeTi · Answer 6 · 2012-04-20T09:35:25+0000

make sure you do not mix the 64-bit Java runtime with the 32-bit eclipse (or vice versa). it once caused a similar problem for me

jstricker · Answer 7 · 2012-08-29T21:49:33+0000

Another option is to try lowering the value specified for -Xmx.

I encountered the same error when starting Eclipse Helios on a computer running Windows XP (like 32-bit OS and 32-bit JDK). I did not change any configuration on my machine, so I was at a dead end.

The only difference was that I connected to the machine through RDP. I believe this forces Windows to load some additional DLLs in places that limit the available continuous memory. In my case, I can constantly run the JVM -Xmx1280m when I'm sitting in front of the car, but I can only control -Xmx1024m when connected via RDP.

Delete this line

-vm C: \ Program Files \ Java \ jdk1.6.0_33 \ bin \ javaw.exe

Bae · Answer 9 · 2013-03-06T04:58:12+0000

By Eclipse Wiki - eclipse.ini vm_value (Windows example)

This may not work on all systems. If you encounter Java when starting eclipse but return exit code = 1, change the -vm argument to point to jvm.dll

So in your case it will be

 -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\client\jvm.dll

Also note that

The -vm parameter must occur before the -vmargs parameter, since everything after -vmargs is passed directly to the JVM

I work successfully with -Xmx1024m

I had this problem regularly, but only the second time I started Eclipse without restarting Windows.

I am developing Android and fixing the problem, making sure that my test device was not connected via USB when starting Eclipse 2nd and subsequent times.

-vm C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Java \ jdk1.6.0_20 \ bin \ javaw.exe for 32-bit

If you downloaded the 64-bit eclipse installation, download JDK1.7, which by default will be installed in C: \ Program Files \ Java.

Change the -vm argument in the eclipse.ini file to point to C: \ Program Files \ Java \ jre7 \ bin \ javaw.exe.

Your problem should be solved with this.

alper guler · Answer 12 · 2013-04-10T07:31:55+0000

I fixed this by removing all Java components from my Win7 computer and reinstalling “Java SE Runtime Environment 7” for 64-bit because my Eclipse installation was also 64 bits.

D3lity · Answer 13 · 2013-09-12T07:38:31+0000

Something went wrong in eclipse-workspace. My eclipse showed only a splash screen at startup, and then disappeared (= crash).

I managed to restore my precious RemoteSystemsExplorer connections by renaming the old workspace. Then run Eclipse to create an empty workspace. Then a closed eclipse. Copied from the old workspace: workspace3.metadata.plugins \ org.eclipse.rse.core folder to a new workspace folder.

Lai · Answer 14 · 2014-01-06T12:08:06+0000

All answers show that this problem may be based on your eclipse or java configuration. I think there should be some kind of log or popup so that the user knows why the IDE cannot start. In my case, restarting the computer resolved the issue.

avinash.annamaneni · Answer 15 · 2014-01-16T09:43:36+0000

I fixed the problem by adding below lines

-vm C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Java \ jdk1.6.0_24 \ bin \ javaw.exe

This line was missing in my jbdevstudio.ini file.

I think the problem arose because I copied the Java folder from C: to D :, therefore, now there were two javaw.exe on my system.

Note. - Please add them in two lines, as indicated above.

I tried all of the above, but nothing worked. I finally installed my Java updates that it worked.

Angad singh · Answer 17 · 2014-10-08T09:37:04+0000

Just changed

-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion = 1.6 to 1.7

Venkat · Answer 18 · 2016-06-03T05:45:10+0000

I solve this problem by adding below line to eclipse.ini file in my case

-vm C: \ Program Files \ Java \ jdk1.8.0_91 \ jre \ bin \ javaw.exe

thanks

android developer · Answer 19 · 2012-12-26T23:13:50+0000

I fixed it by uninstalling all java components and reinstalling jdk.
