Currently I'm trying to run Eclipse Classic under Windows 7 x64, without success.
First, I've downloaded the JDK from here.
Second, I've downloaded the Eclipse 32 bit Version, which crashes while showing the splashscreen, for a very short time.
The 64 bit version at last, shows an error message, that the jvm.dll can't be loaded (shown path is valid).
What can I do now? Java seems to work, as I can run Netbeans and other Java Applications.
I also have no error log of Eclipse, as no workspace is setup.
Fixed it! For both, 32 & 64 Bit version. I used the posted Eclipse.ini setting from here, edited the paths to fit my environment and bam! It worked. Thanks for your support :)
Make sure you're running a 64 bit JDK, that JAVA_HOME is set properly, and that %JAVA_HOME%\bin is in the front of your path. I also might try running eclipse from the DOS prompt to see if you get any startup error info there.

I've installed Eclipse Neon.3 on my windows 7 machine, after the install process has finished, the installer has an option to 'launch now', which I do and the IDE boots up and works as expected.
However when I close eclipse and then reopen it, I get a crash which prevents it from booting up (sorry for this being a picture, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to copy the text):
The version I've installed is Release 4.6.3, and the build ID is 20170314. I've installed and removed it 3 times and observed the same behaviour each time. I've tried doing a reset between boots and installs. I've also tried inspecting my environment variables, which look like this:
JAVA_HOME:C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_91
PATH: %PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin
Is this a known issue, or do I have something wrong in my setup? Prior to this I discovered 4 versions of the jre/jdk on my machine, and two versions of eclipse. I think I have correctly removed all but the one referenced from my java home, and I entirely removed eclipse and downloaded the latest version (neon.3).
I've fixed the issue, and whilst I'm still not entirely sure why it was a problem, here is how I fixed it.
I opened a terminal and ran 'java -version' (I should have done this first). It was failing to find java.exe, despite the bin folder being on the path. Running this revealed that it was actually calling a shortcut to java.exe found in 'c /programdata/oracle/java/javapath/' which pointed to a now non existent version of java.
So long story short, if you have a similar problem, check if you have shortcuts in the folder 'c /programdata/oracle/java/javapath/java.exe' and ensure they point to the correct program.
Using the installer, I installed Eclipse Neon 3 (64 bit) on to my Windows 10 workstation. To get going and test my install, I ran simple "hello world" app. The trouble was that I expected the Console window to show my output.
I did see the console window open, but instantly disappear again. Nothing I do will keep this window open in the IDE. Any solution?
On my hunt for an answer I read an old post re: no console output that led me to downloading the 32 bit version. This solved the problem. Bug 516182 logged.
I recently decided to start trying Android app development, so I downloaded the Java SE Development Kit 8 (x86) for Windows (I got Windows 8 64bit, but my guide recommends getting the 32bit one), the Android SDK, and the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (x86).
However, my Eclipse won't launch when I double click eclipse.exe! Instead, I get the following error message:
I tried adding Java to my Path variable in my Environment variables as suggested in some of the solutions I looked up, but it still doesn't launch properly.
Anyone know what else I can try? Also, if possible, please do not use super-technical vocabulary as I'm new to these kinds of stuff and will not understand you...thank you haha :D
I had the same issue and was trying to install different versions of JDK: 1.6, 1.7, 1.8.
It didn't help much.
The problem was resolved when I changed PATH variable by removing
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;
In command prompt I also ran following commands:
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25
set PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\bin;%PATH%
But I think the most important was to remove C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath; from the PATH.
I know exactly how to solve your problem. Go to search and put in environment, a prompt will come up and ask you to "Edit environmental variables for your account" click that and a window will pop up. There will be the current paths which are running on the top (you should have your JDK version running, mine is 1.8) and on the bottom part there will be paths to choose from. Select (on the bottom part) the java path and delete it, then click okay. This should work.
If it didn't work, You may also add a new path to the java bin folder which worked for me.
Here is an alternative:
As described here, make sure that you have the -vm option set in your eclipse.ini file.
It must be an absolute path and on 2 separate lines:
-vm
<Absolute Path>\javaw.exe
Save your .ini and relaunch Eclipse
One line answer, remove 'C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;' from your path variable. It will start to work.
Most errors with starting eclipse happen due to multiple JRE or JDK version which makes the installer go nuts.
Solution: Go to Control Panel -> Uninstall Programs
If you're running 64-bit java, then uninstall all Java without the 64bit indicator. If 32-bit, then uninstall all that have 64-bit
It works like magic!
What worked for me was having installed adoptopenjdk11 using Chocolatey package manager:
choco install adoptopenjdk11
I had Java working with Eclipse but I had to set up up Javac on the command line. I set the environment variables shown below but it doesn't work. Eclipse has now also stopped working.
Any help would be great!
Thanks!
Ok so I went a bit crazy and uninstalled/reinstalled loads of different jdk's. Finally one installed completely when I saved it directly to my C drive. I updated my environment variables for eclipse and for my command prompt and voila! Java is now working! I guess the problems with the space between Program Files will haunt me forever so I shouldn't save anything there anymore.
I just got this MSI wind netbook and tried to run eclipse on it. I installed JDK6 on the netbook already. Whenever I open eclipse there is nothing show up on the screen except a "warning sound" that alerts. What is the problem here?
ps.I just started learning java.
Most likely the Eclipse starter program can't find where you installed Java. Since Eclipse is a Java program, it needs a JRE installed (comes with the JDK typically) to run. Assuming you're running Windows on your MSI Wind, check to make sure the java executable is on your path in your computer environment settings (windows key + printscreen button, or windows key + pause button are the shortcuts to open the computer properties dialog if I remember correctly. Then go to advanced).
You can test if java is on the path by opening a cmd.exe shell window and typing 'java'. If it says it cannot find java, then you need to fix the path.

You could try reinstalling the JDK. Perhaps having it on a different disk than the default (D: versus C:) is causing some trouble? It certainly isn't a problem with the hardware, I'm running Eclipse on Windows on an MSI Wind.
Use "Add/Remove programs" in the control panel to remove the java versions you have installed.
Then visit "java.com" and use it to install Java, and verify that it is working. You do not need more than that to use Eclipse.
