Eclipse ADT: Java was started but returned exit code=13

Question

Could someone one clarify why my Eclipse (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) from ADT won\'t start?

Every time I\'m getting this error:

Answer 1

this is a makeshift solution but may sort you out.

show hidden files, C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath

you will find 3 shortcut links that are pointing to the wrong directories,

solution 1; go to C:\Program Files\Java\jre8\bin and copy out the files these links are pointing to and paste into the C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath. Close and run again the eclipse, install updates

solution 2: go fix the environmental paths as some other solutions here suggest.

the first one worked for me
