second

open the eclipse.ini and if the path was not the path of current version java (that shown in result of CMD) edit the path to correct path of your java (the version shown in result ) like this :

before I change the path was :

-vm

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\jre\bin\javaw.exe

-vmargs

-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7

-Xms256m -Xmx1024m

-vm

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\jre\bin\javaw.exe

-vmargs
