Eclipse - Failed to create the java virtual machine

Question

I\'m having issue with running my Eclipse with the following config:

eclipse.ini

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
--         


        

Answer 1

Change the below parameter in the eclipse.ini (which is in the same directory as eclipse.exe) to match one of your current Java version. Note that I also changed the maximum memory allowed for the eclipse process (which is run in a JVM). If you having multiple Java versions installed this can be happen. The below trick word for me.

-Xmx512m
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6

I cahanged this to,

-Xmx1024m
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7

Then It worked...
