Your -vm argument seems ok BUT it s position is wrong  According to this Eclipse Wiki entry       The -vm option must occur before the -vmargs option  since everything after -vmargs is passed directly to the JVM    So your -vm argument is not taken into account and it fails over to your default java installation  which is probably 1 6 0 65
