Question

This doesn\'t work -vm %JAVA_HOME%/bin/javaw.exe

How can I replace %JAVA_HOME% with full path on windows 8 when path contains space (\"program files\" directory)

Answer 1

if you are using mac, proceed with following steps:

1. Move to following directory:

   /sts-bundle/STS.app/Contents/Eclipse
   

2. Add the java home explicitly in STS.ini file:

   -vm
   /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_144.jdk/Contents/Home/bin
   -vmargs
   

Make sure not to add all the statements in single line
