eclipse won't start - no java virtual machine was found
Two ways to work around this .
Recommended way : In your
eclipse.ini
file make sure you are pointing -vm to your jdk installation. More on this here. Make sure to add-vm
before the-vmargs
section.Pass in the
vm
flag from command line. http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_run_Eclipse%3F#Find_the_JVM
Note : Eclipse DOES NOT consult the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
Make sure both the Java version and Eclipse are belongs to same architecture.So install 64 bit java for 64 bit eclipse.
eclipse.ini:
--launcher.defaultAction
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize<br/>
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll<br/>
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7
That worked for me. It doesnt have to be on the beginning, but surely it cant be at the end of the file.
