Eclipse error: 'Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine'

I am getting this error message when I start Eclipse Helios on Windows 7:

Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine

在这里输入图片说明

My eclipse.ini looks as follows:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar
-vm
P:Programsjdk1.6bin
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.0.v20100503
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
512m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms120m
-Xmn100m
-Xmx1024m

My JAVA_HOME is correctly set as far as I can tell. How can I fix this?

Things I have tried so far:

  • Adding the full path to javaw.exe -vm P:Programsjdk1.6binbinjavaw.exe
  • Removing the -vm option altogether
  • Removing --launcher.XXMaxPermSize fixes the issue, but it causes permgen errors
  • Removing the value 512 of --launcher.XXMaxPermSize fixes the issue, but it causes permgen errors
  • Reducing -Xmx to 512m also fixes the issue.
  • Why can I not use '1024m' for '-Xmx' and '--launcher.XXMaxPermSize'?


    Try removing the -vm P:Programsjdk1.6bin lines.


    Also, a general recommendation: set -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6 , not 1.5 .


    1. Open the eclipse.ini file from your eclipse folder,see the picture below.

    的eclipse.ini

    2. Open eclipse.ini in Notepad or any other text-editor application, Find the line -Xmx256m (or -Xmx1024m ). Now change the default value 256m (or 1024m ) to 512m . You also need to give the exact java installed version (1.6 or 1.7 or other).

    Like This:

    -Xmx512m
    -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
    

    OR

    -Xmx512m
    -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7
    

    OR

    -Xmx512m
    -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8
    

    Then it works well for me.


    Try to add

    -vm
    D:Javajdk1.6.0_29binjavaw.exe
    

    FYI: Refer sunblog

    For others who might have problems with Java 7, as per Eclipse Wiki - eclipse.ini vm_value (windows example)

    This might not work on all systems. If you encounter "Java was started but returned exit code=1" error while starting the eclipse, modify the -vm argument to point to jvm.dll

    eg

    -vm
    C:Program FilesJavajre7binclientjvm.dll
    

    Also note that

    The -vm option must occur before the -vmargs option, since everything after -vmargs is passed directly to the JVM
