Eclipse gives Java was started but returned exit code 13

Question

All hell broke loose after i uninstalled my java 6 and installed java 7  both jdk and jre   On opening eclipse it gave the error that  No JVM found at        So  i explicitly gave the location of javaw exe as   -vm   C  Progra 2 Java jdk1 7 0 45 bin javaw exe  in the eclipse ini file  Now it says  Java was started but returned exit code 13   Also  in the elispse ini file i changed -Dosgi requiredJavaVersion 1 5 to  -Dosgi requiredJavaVersion 1 7  There are many solutions online like    MyEclipse 10 does not start  quot Java was started but returned exit code 13 quot   but none of them works  Any insight

The solution can be found here  The eclipse ini file should be somewhat like this     -startup plugins org eclipse equinox launcher 1 3 0 v20120522-1813 jar --launcher library plugins org eclipse equinox launcher win32 win32 x86 64 1 1 200 v20120913-144807 -product adtproduct --launcher XXMaxPermSize 256M -showsplash org eclipse platform --launcher XXMaxPermSize 256m --launcher defaultAction openFile --launcher appendVmargs -vm C  Program Files Java jdk1 8 0 25 bin javaw exe -vmargs -Dosgi requiredJavaVersion 1 6 -Xms40m -Xmx768m

Instead of opening eclipse exe   first open folder named configuration then you will get log file like 1401241141809 log   open that log  open latest one  detail error will be listed there  Ex  java lang UnsatisfiedLinkError  Cannot load 64-bit SWT libraries on 32-bit JVM  means you need to have JVM and SDK of same version

When I uninstalled Java 8 it worked fine

It would be the 32 bit version of eclipse   for instance if you are running the 32 bit version of eclipse in 64 bit JVM  this error will be the result   To confirm this check for log in your configuration folder of the eclipse  Log will be as following  java lang UnsatisfiedLinkError  Cannot load 32-bit SWT libraries on 64-bit JVM      try installing the either 64 bit eclipse or run in 32 bit jvm

I had the same problem  i was using windows8 with 64 bit OS  I just changed the path to Program Files  86  and then it started work  I put this line in eclipse ini file like   -vm  C  Program Files  x86  Java jre7 bin javaw exe

if you have updated your jdk to 7 you are most likely to face this problem   This happens mainly due to    incompatible sdk and jdk versions using a 32 bit java version for your 64 bit eclipse JVM  programfilex86-java     WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO   firstly check the eclipse ini file to see if you have a path that is pointing to your jdk it should look something like this       -vm     C  Program Files Java blah blah blah javaw exe       if not then locate the jdk 7 javaw exe file sample     C  Program Files Java jdk1 7 0 45 jre bin javaw exe    paste -vm and the path below it into your eclipse ini file  -vm   C  Program Files Java jdk1 7 0 45 jre bin javaw exe           make sure that you type the above just before the -vmargs and after the OpenFile

In your eclipse ini file simply put     vm  home aniket jdk1 7 0 11 bin Your path to JDK 7    before -vmargs line

I got this fixed by doing the below steps    The eclipse finds the JAVA executables from  C  ProgramData Oracle Java javapath    2 The folder structure will contain shortcuts to the below executables   i  java exe ii  javaw exe iii  javaws exe  3 For me the executable paths were pointing to my  ProgramFiles x84   folder location  I corrected it to Program Files path 64 bit  and the issue got resolved   Please find the screenshot for the same

This problem happened  because  either  u  install new version of  jdk  so you have both 32bit version and 64bit   how to solve the  problem  is just go open computer   amp  go to c then you will see     after that you probably  use 32 bit so just  chose C  Program Files and there you will find folder called  java    in it    so you have many different version of  jdk  so easily chose jre7 and to  to  bin and you will find  javaw exe in it  like    now only just  take that path copy  and  go to start type  eclipse ini you will see text file  just  open it  and before -vmargs   write -vm  enter  path like photo    now  just open eclipse again and  have fun  D
