Your eclipse.ini is wrong for specifying the JVM. First of all, the -vm option needs to be near the end, right before any -vmargs line. Second, you don't specify the location of the bin folder, rather the java executable (or dll). See the eclipse.ini wiki page for details (and pay careful attention to the details written there).

By the way, where did you get the info to write eclipse.ini the way you did? I'd like to know the source in hopes of correcting that misinformation.
