I downloaded fresh Eclipse CDT, added a C++ project, and after a few minutes eclipse crashed. It said "javaw.exe returned -1", and Eclipse crashes silently.
The .metadata/.log file sometimes contains nothing, and sometimes contains a few Java exception in the C/C++ indexer which certainly doesn't explain a silent crash.
How can I further debug this phenomena? I've no clue what to look for next.
I'm running the latest stable Eclipse CDT (7.0.1), with Windows 7 64bit, with the latest stable JDK (6u24).
On my machine, Windows 7, I have Eclipse in C:\Users\james\eclipse. In that folder, after crashes, I see error files like "hs_err_pid4308.log" that have lots of useful information.
For my crashes, it lead me to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=333227 where I found a suggestion to add -XX:-UseCompressedOops to the end of my eclipse.ini file. The ini file for my 64 bit Windows 7 non-crashing Eclipse Helios Service Release 2 Build id: 20110301-1815 with CDT now looks like:

When I am starting the eclipse I am getting this error. -vm argument contains the path of the java.exe which is not their in my system possible after a java upgrade. How Can I correct this?
Java was started but returned exit code=13
C:/ProgramData/Oracle/java/javapath/java.exe....
This path does not exist in my system
Eclipse.INI contents are

this line specifies to use Java 6. If you upgraded JAVA you should update this field.
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini#Specifying_the_JVM
My JVM seems to be 32 bit and Eclipse is definitely 64 bit may that is the reason and earlier location it referred must have had 64 bit Java which got uninstalled in whole upgrade process somewhere. I guess I will just download the 32 bit version of Eclipse Mars and that would solve the problem. –
I am trying to update my eclipse to work with a jdk and not a jre.
I followed the instruction in this forum , also search google for answers but for some reason it still don't work.
I try'ed going to preferences ->java->install jre's , removing the old jre from there and using the path for the jdk.
also try'ed going to project properties -> java build path -> jre system libraries -> edit-> workspace default jre.it also says there i'm using jdk.
I even try'ed adding to the ini file the next path C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_31\bin\javaw.exe
but when i try'ed deploying my program to app engine i get the next message :
Unable to update app: Cannot get the System Java Compiler. Please use a JDK, not a JRE.
my eclipse version is juno 4.2 and my jdk version is 1.6.0_31
I don't know what else i need to change. I even uninstall my older jre from my computer but eclipse still don't work with the jdk ( although it recognize it )
I'm out of idea's ... anyone could help me please ??
this is my ini file :

thanks for the help
If you want to change JVM Eclipse itself should run on, the right place for that is eclipse.ini. Here are instructions on how to specify that: eclipse.ini.
Common mistakes are specifying -vm parameter name and the value in one line, or missing '-vm', or misplacing it. Also, pay attention to -vm format on different OSes.
EDIT (after .ini file published): your -vm option comes after -vmargs, which is wrong (both lines are treated as VM args). The correct parameter placement in your .ini file would look like this:
...
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_31\bin
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Dhelp.lucene.tokenizer=standard
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
Below you can find my eclipse ini where I set a dedicated JDK via
-vm C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jdk1.7.0_10/bin/javaw.exe
Have a look at the section "Specifiying the Java Virtual Machine" in the eclipse help.
Quote:
Tip: It's generally a good idea to explicitly specify which Java VM to use when running Eclipse. This is achieved with the "-vm" command line argument as illustrated above. If you don't use "-vm", Eclipse will look on the O/S path. When you install other Java-based products, they may change your path and could result in a different Java VM being used when you next launch Eclipse.

None of the other answers worked for me. I eventually just removed the "jre7" directory and, presto-chango, Eclipse started using the JDK that was installed next to it.
I have downloaded eclipse.exe.When I click the icon eclipse icon disappears.
the eclipse.ini file

By running the following command on command prompt
eclipse -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_27\jre\bin\javaw.exe
I am getting a error.
java was started but returned exit code=1
I cannot determine what's wrong from the information given, but here are some things to check/try:
If you're running a 64-bit Windows, chances are you have installed a 64bit JDK and try to use it with 32bit Eclipse. If this is the case, you either need to get a 64bit version of Eclipse or install a 32bit JDK and point Eclipse to that (in 64-bit Windows 7, the 32-bit stuff is under "C:\Program Files (x86)").
To get more information what is causing the failure to start, locate the eclipse log -file, it should contain more information about what goes wrong in the start up. I don't remember the precise location, but it could have been something like Eclipse root/configuration/ OR workspace root/.metadata/. You can also start eclipse from command prompt with parameter -consoleLog, in which case the error message should be printed straight out to your command prompt.
You could also try starting Eclipse with parameter -clean, this flushes some configuration stuff and can sometimes help, if Eclipse seems to crash constantly (but usually you get to the workspace before it does).
what do I need to write in my eclipse.ini to get rid of this warning:
The Maven Integration requires that Eclipse be running in a JDK,
beacuase a number of Maven core plugins are using jars from the JDK.
Please make sure the -vm options in eclipse.ini is pointing to a JDK
and verify that Installed JREs are also using JDK installs.
My ini says this and the problem is not solved:
-startup

Update: The above definitely doesn't change my vm I checked it according to this answer and it says I'm still running eclipse.vm=C:\Windows\System32\javaw.exe
Update2: A suggested on several websites I tried to run eclipse from the commandline as .\eclipse -vm "..\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin\javaw.exe" and it worked!!! In "Eclipse Installation Details"->"Configuration" it now says eclipse.vm=C:\Program Files\eclipse\\..\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin\javaw.exe
Did you try using slashes instead of backslashes for the folder of your jdk?
As has been suggested in other answers you should both change backslashes to forward slashes in your JDK path and put -vm and the JDK path on different lines. This is what works for me:
-vm
C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jdk1.6.0_26/bin/javaw.exe
I have these two lines as the first ones in my eclipse.ini file, but that should not be required.
Here is my eclipse.ini (eclipse 3.6) and maven works fine

I just downloaded eclipse from official site, download maven 2.2.1 from apache site, installed
m2eclipse - http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e
m2eclipse Extras http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e-extras
(Install new software)
Set up my maven installation in Window->Preferences->Maven->Installations
and that's all for me to work with maven.
Have you tried an enter between -vm and the java path? I think it needs a new line. You can also try pointing to the jvm.dll instead of the .exe
The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its
companion launcher jar.
or
This (above) error occurs when I am trying to start my eclipse, on Fedora 12. my jdk and eclipse both are of 32 bit.

Has Eclipse been installed through yum or manually?
Is it a new install or has it been upgraded?
From the ini file, it looks like a version mismatch between the --startup jar and the --launcher.library.
Depending on how Eclipse was installed, you can look for existence of the specified jar and the folder. Most likely one or both is missing or incorrect.
