Java version used   1 8 IDE   Eclipse Neon  Adding like the below didn t work for me     -vm      relative java home  jdk1 8 0 21 bin javaw exe   and then when i removed      javaw exe   it worked  so it will be like     -vm      relative java home  jdk1 8 0 21 bin

If you are using windows 8 or later    download and install the jdk or jre with all the default settings and options   Then download and install eclipse     Everything should work fine  I don t know if it works exactly the same for other OS  but you don t have to set the PATH manually in Windows 8 or later

I have several version of JDK  not JRE  instaled and I launch Eclipse with   C  eclipse eclipse exe -vm   JAVA HOME  bin javaw exe  -data f  dev java 2013   As you can see  I set JAVA HOME to point to the version of JDK I want to use   I NEVER add javaw exe in the PATH   -data is used to choose a workspace for a particular job client context

You can add this line to eclipse ini     -vm  D  work Java jdk1 6 0 13 bin javaw exe   lt -- change to your JDK actual path -vmargs  lt -- needs to be after -vm  lt path gt    But it s worth setting JAVA HOME and JRE HOME anyway because it may not work as if the path environment points to a different java version   Because the next one to complain will be Maven  etc

I just copied the jre folder to whatever path the message tells me it was missing at  and solved it    after editing the JAVA HOME and editing the eclipse ini didn t worked  as i probably did something wrong    i have no other java applications running so it s not affecting me

I had the same issue caused by two things    I had downloaded a 32bit Java version instead of 64bit   The eclipse ini did not have path to javaw exe  so as per prior posts added the statement which points to the location java     So after I uninstalled the 32 bit Java 1 7  installed the correct one and added the javaw exe path  eclipse fired up with no more errors

You should specify where Eclipse should find your JDK in the file eclipse ini  Specifically  the following parameter  note that it is 2 separate lines in the ini file    -vm C  Java JDK 1 8 bin javaw exe   or wherever your javaw exe happens to be   Note  The format of the ini file is very particular  make sure to consult https   wiki eclipse org Eclipse ini to ensure you get it exactly right

This may sound dumb  but it may be a fresh  or damaged install  so is the JDK installed  If not  go to the download site and download the latest version of Java JRE  Like I said  this may sound dumb  but it solved my problem    http   www oracle com technetwork java javase downloads index html

Add this to eclipse ini   -vm your java path bin javaw exe      but be aware that you must add these lines before -vmargs
