Answer 1

You're trying to run a 64-bit Eclipse with a 32-bit Java Runtime. They have to match.

Answer 2

If you have recently updated your java then please uninstall that update. It worked in my case. Hope it will help.

Answer 3

first of all remove line in eclipse.ini:

-vm
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\bin\javaw.exe
