Java was started but returned exit code=13 eclipse [duplicate]

Answer 1

You need Java in your bin path - or put in the full pathname.

The easiest way to make sure you have the path correct is to navigate to the folder containing the java exe (i.e. use the cd command in the cmd window, use dir to confirm you are in the correct folder) and then type java -version and java.exe -version there.

By navigating to the folder you have confirmed that you are going to the right location.

Answer 2

The problem is that you are trying to start a 64 bit version of Eclipse with a 32 bit version of Java. You can download it from here

Start Eclipse with a 64 bit JVM and the problem will go away.

To do so:

eclipse.exe -vm c:\path\to\64\bit\bin\javaw.exe

You can also update the the first two lines in your eclipse.ini file to use the 64 bit java by default by doing the following:

-vm
c:\path\to\64\bit\bin\javaw.exe

Also, you can also download a 32 bit version of Eclipse for use with 32 bit Java. The key is that the bitness is the same.
