Eclipse does not start when I run the exe

Question

When I run the Eclipse exe within the given folder  it will not start  The Eclipse splash screen will appear for a split second then close  There are no errors    I ve tried practically everything  Updating JDK and JRE  I installed JRE 7 and JDK 1 7 0 40  Both 64 bit  and they are both in the  x86  folder  I ve tried re-installing them  And re-downloading Eclipse  Same result every time  I ve added the VM to the config  still nothing   I use Windows 7 and the standard Eclipse for Java IDE

The actual issue should be with the OS architecture, the JDK (32bit or 64 bit) installed and the eclipse type u installed.

Bring them in sync, things would work completely fine.

Just have a check at the Eventlog as mentioned by @Viji Ideally u should encounter error like RADAR_PRE_LEAK_64

Kindly check the following   1  Your eclipse version whether it is compatible with what version of java  Have that   2 Check the operating system specific BIT requirements either 32 64 with eclipse version   3 Usually java will be installed in ProgramFiles for Java if both OS  amp  Java are 64 bit else it will be in ProgramFiles x86  if java is 32bit and OS is 64Bit   4 Last but not least check the environment variables for Java whether it meets the requirements of your eclipse version   Hope this Helps you

Try to install Eclipse into a folder without spaces

User · Answer

What system you have - 32-bit or 64-bit  You say it was installed into  x86  folder  But normally  x86  is a default for the 32-bit JDK  not for 64-bit JDK  If you used defaults  then it seems that you installed 32-bit JDK instead of 64-bit

I looked online and found a person who had a similar problem   It says on the forum       You might need to download JRE 64 bit version    But again  it depends on what OS you re using as well

Just simply uninstall java 8 update 45  it worked for me  Also you might need to delete the metadata of your workspace as I have first deleted the metadata and then uninstalled java 8 update 45

I had a similar problem with Eclipse mars   It suddenly over the weekend stopped working and if you ran it from a command window  Windows x64  it would flash up a line or two and then stop   I installed Eclipse neon yesterday and it worked  but today it stopped working and went wrong in the same way   Just now I installed the JDK from here  http   www oracle com technetwork java javase downloads jdk8-downloads-2133151 html  I installed version 8u101 and then neon started   I have not changed eclipse ini  although I had a look at it  nor have I deleted the plugins  I renamed the folder and found that this had no effect    Hence I think this difficult to work out problem relates to the JDK JRE   It would be nice if Eclipse gave a bit more information to go on  but such is life

User · Answer

I just had this issue in Eclipse Neon  After trying all these suggestions  it turned out that in my case the problem was improperly configured path variables   There is a pretty good answer already posted here which explains it  but I ll summarize it in this answer for convenience   You will need to go into your User Environment Variables panel and modify the following values    JAVA HOME   C  Program Files Java jdk1 8 0 102 JDK HOME     JAVA HOME  JRE HOME     JAVA HOME  jre CLASSPATH      JAVA HOME  lib  JAVA HOME  jre lib PATH        your-unique-entries  JAVA HOME  bin  make sure that the longish your-unique-entries does not contain any other references to another Java installation folder
