Cannot run Eclipse; JVM terminated. Exit code=13

Question

I just append -vm C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre6\\bin\\javaw.exe

in ec

Answer 1

I just had the same issue, and spend about an hour trying to solve the problem. In the end it was a '#' character in the path.

So I renamed "C:\# IDE\eclipse 3.7\" to "C:\+ IDE\eclipse 3.7\" and that solved the problem.

Answer 2

simply install 64 bit version of JAVA from http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

and uninstall older version if prompted by the 64 bit installer

Answer 3

For Eclipse:

Added this two lines in eclipse.ini

Second line represents the JDK location of the javaw.exe file.

-vm

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_60\bin\javaw.exe

Note: place -vm lines before -vmargs, otherwise default location is taken.

For STS

Change the same as above in STS.ini

Answer 4

This error occurred to me on ubuntu, having installed 32bit and 64bit java. Use

sudo update-alternatives --config java

to set the right version to use as default.

Answer 5

I was using Eclipse Juno and I didn't remember if it was 32 or 64 bits. I installed Java 32 bits and that's why it failed. I then installed Java 64 bits and Eclipse Juno is working again.

I also removed any java or jre reference in my environment variables (PATH).

Answer 6

I fixed it reinstalling the jdk. In my case it was necessary to do:

java -version
sudo apt-get purge openjdk*
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
java -version
javac -version
