After installing the recent Java update, I get error code 13 along with some extra text:
I did not have this issue with any other Java update but the recent Java 8 update. I have tried downloading the most recent version of Eclipse Luna, which is supposed to have support for Java 8, but no luck. Is anyone else having this issue? If not, can someone help me decipher this to figure out the problem?
You appear to be attempting to use a 32-bit JRE on a 64-bit system. That's possible, but you have a 64-bit version of eclipse (you can't do that). Download a 64-bit version of the JRE.
It seems that your eclipse.ini is messed up. From the message: the vm option and its value is on the same line. The value should be on the line below (this is the issue that I had earlier):
The -vm option and its value (the path) must be on separate lines.
A google search brought me to this:
Cannot run Eclipse; JVM terminated. Exit code=13
EDIT 1: The same link also talks about misconfiguring a 64 bit JVM on a 32 bit eclipse. That could also be an issue.
Really easy fix for me: in eclipse/eclipse.ini, I changed the line:
-vm
C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_151/bin
to the new JRE directory name:
-vm
C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_161/bin
which I found in C:\Program Files\Java. So it was basically changing a 5 to a 6. The problem was that the Java update changed the directory name for the JRE, so the eclipse.ini file was pointing to the wrong directory name.
Did you install the new java8 software with the Eclipse?
I mean you go to help/install new software/ add.
give your file localtion where the java is present in archive.
I guess it should work try it out.
at the beginning it says that failed to find java jdk or jre so i installed it. then i run it again it came up this.
It says that "Failed to find a Main Class in ... eclipse\\plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20140415-2008.jar"
java file are under
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_31 && jre7
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_31 && jre1.8.0_31
my eclipse file are under
D:\迅雷下载\操作系统\eclipse
can someone tell me how to fix this ??
I was facing the similar issue where on launching eclipse photon it was giving error like:
Failed to find a Main Class in ...
eclipse\\plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher*.jar
One of the reasons in my case was that I had two JDK versions on my system (JDK 6 & JDK 8).
It was running fine but stopped when I updated JAVA_HOME as JDK 6.
To rectify it, I added the below lines in the eclipse.ini file before -vmargs:
-vm
C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_111/bin/javaw.exe
-vmargs
Basically, I passed the JDK 8 path to the eclipse as required version for eclipse photon was Java 8. And this got me working.
Try to move eclipse to some simpler path, like D:\development\eclipse
This error is due to because you might have downgraded the version of java in your environmental variables.Try changing the java version in environmental variables and then run the sts or eclipse..for better practice restart the system.hope it helps.!!
I do not mean to steal the first answer - it did help me solve my very similar issue.
I am running Windows 8 x64 bit and installed a modded version of Eclipse in a custom path (rather the default install location that was suggested) - and I got that error.
So, I deleted that Eclipse install. Then installed both x86 and x64 versions of JDK (to their default install locations), and repeated the Eclipse install to the default install location - that solved the problem for me!!!
The reason I installed both JDK versions was because I initially installed only the x64 bit version and a different error came. So I removed that Eclipse again, and repeated the JDK with both versions, etc...
I was on this problem for like an hour and a half not getting that if you save the eclipse file in a non-English named folder it doesn't open.
Hope it helps :)
Check if there are 2 Java paths mentioned in the system Variable "Path"
If yes, Move up the Java path which is mentioned in JAVA_HOME.
For example:
If JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_211
then the Path should have same Java version's path
Path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_211
In my case I just changed the Path from
Path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45\bin
To
Path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_211
Remove Eclipse from Non English folder if any.
This is issue might be because of the folder location or the JDK version,
I installed the latest version JDK and with eclipse-inst-win64 provided by eclipse i was able to install and run successfully
Same thing happens when you change eclipse.exe to a different name, seems like org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20140415-2008.jar starts the ide and looks for eclipse.exe
In my case, the Eclipse installer downloaded the wrong VM vertion. I download it separately. Choose it in clause "Java 11+ VM" and it works. Also check you do not have Russian letters in eclipse.ini. If you do, then change the encoding to UTF-8 and write the right letters in Russian.
When I try opening Eclipse, a pop-up dialog states:
Failed to load the JNI shared library "C:/JDK/bin/client/jvm.dll"`.
Following this, Eclipse force closes.
Here's a few points I'd like to make:
I checked to see if anything exists at that path. It does exist.
My Eclipse and Java SE Development Kit are both 64-bit. I checked my system, and it can handle 64-bit.
I've searched for this problem on Google and on Stack Overflow, and the only answer I found was to download the 32-bit versions of JDK and Eclipse.
Downloading the 32-bit versions is something I only want to do as a very last resort.
What would be suggested to solve this issue?
You need a 64-bit trio:
64-bit OS
64-bit Java
64-bit Eclipse
Working pairings of OS, JDK and Eclipse:
32-bit OS | 32-bit JDK | 32-bit Eclipse (32-bit only)
64-bit OS | 32-bit JDK | 32-bit Eclipse
64-bit OS | 64-bit JDK | 64bit Eclipse (64-bit only)
I had several JDKs and JREs installed.
Each of them had their own entry in the PATH variable, all was working more or less.
Judging from the PATH variables, some installations were completely useless, since they were never used. Of course, the "inactive" Javas could be referenced manually from within Eclipse if I needed, but I never did that, so I really did not need them. (At least I thought so at that time...)
I cleaned up the mess, deinstalled all current Java's, installed only JDK + JRE 1.7 64-bit.
One of the Eclipse 'installations' failed afterwards with the Failed to Load the JNI shared Library and a given path relative to the fresh installed JDK where it thought the jvm.dll to be.
The failing Eclipse was the only one of all my IDEs that was still a 32-bit version on my otherwise all-64-bit setup.
Adding VM arguments, like so often mentioned, in the eclipse.ini was no use in my case (because I had only the wrong JDK/JRE to relate to.)
I was also unable to find out how to check if this Eclipse was a 32-bit or 64-bit version (I could not look it up in the Task Manager, since this Eclipse 'installation' would not start up. And since it had been a while since I had set it up, I could not remember its version either.)
In case you use a newer JDK and a older JRE you might be in for trouble, too, but then it is more likely a java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError appears, IIRC.
Make sure your eclipse.ini file includes the following lines.
-vm
C:\path\to\64bit\java\bin\javaw.exe
My eclipse.ini for example:
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.1.R36x_v20101122_1400.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.2.R36x_v20101222
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_32\bin\javaw.exe
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
Use OS and Eclipse both 64 bit or both 32 bit keep same and config eclipse.ini.
Your eclipse.ini file can be found in your eclipse folder.
I had same problem
I resolved it by installing 64 bit JVM from
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
This error means that the architecture of Eclipse does not match the architecture of the Java runtime, i.e. if one is 32-bit the other must be the same, and not 64-bit.
The most reliable fix is to specify the JVM location in eclipse.ini:
-vm
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_55\bin\javaw.exe
Important: These two lines must come before -vmargs. Do not use quotes; spaces are allowed.
Another option is:
Create a shortcut to the Eclipse.exe. Open the shortcut and change the target to:
"C:\Program Files\eclipse\eclipse.exe" -vm "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_04\bin\javaw.exe"
For your installation, make sure the locations point to the correct Eclipse installation directory and the correct javaw.exe installation directory.
(The 64/32 bit versions of Eclipse and Java need to be the same, of course.)
I have multiple versions of Java installed, both Sun JDK & JRockit, both 32 bit and 64-bit, etc. and ran into this problem with a fresh install of 64-bit Eclipse for Java EE (JUNO).
What did NOT work:
64-bit trio as suggested by Peter Rader:
I'm using 64-bit Eclipse on 64-bit OS (Windows 7).
I ensured Sun JDK 7 64-bit was the default java version. When I typed "java -version" from command line (cmd.exe), Sun JDK 7 64-bit was returned...
java version "1.7.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-b147)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode)
This did not resolve the problem for me.
What DID work:
Adding -vm option to eclipse.ini as suggested by Jayesh Kavathiya:
I added the following to eclipse.ini:
-vm
C:/apps/java/jdk7-64bit/bin/javaw.exe
Note:
I did not have to uninstall any of the various versions of JDK or JRE I have on my machine.
For a missing jvm.dll file, we can provide the path of the dll file in eclipse.ini file as
-vm
C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.6.0_38\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
Here it is important to remove any space in the path and the double quotes.
It worked for me when i removed the quotes and space.
I hope it helps someone.
I had a similar problem. It was solved doing the following.
Move Eclipse to Program Files (not to Program Files (x86)).
Remove the path to the 32-bit version of Java from the 'path' environment variable.
I have both versions of Java installed, but Eclipse kept trying to use the 32-bit one.
Sure, you need to have a compatible version of JDK and Eclipse, but you also need to add in the eclipse.ini file the below lines:
-vm
yourdrive\java\bin
Make them the first two lines of your eclipse.ini file.
As many folks already alluded to, this is a 32 vs. 64 bit problem for both Eclipse and Java. You cannot mix up 32 and 64 bit. Since Eclipse doesn't use JAVA_HOME, you'll likely have to alter your PATH prior to launching Eclipse to ensure you are using not only the appropriate version of Java, but also if 32 or 64 bit (or modify the INI file as Jayath noted).
If you are installing Eclipse from a company-share, you should ensure you can tell which Eclipse version you are unzipping, and unzip to the appropriate Program Files directory to help keep track of which is which, then change the PATH (either permanently via (Windows) Control Panel -> System or set PATH=/path/to/32 or 64bit/java/bin;%PATH% (maybe create a batch file if you don't want to set it in your system and/or user environment variables). Remember, 32-bit is in Program files (x86).
If unsure, just launch Eclipse, if you get the error, change your PATH to the other 'bit' version of Java, and then try again. Then move the Eclipse directory to the appropriate Program Files directory.
The answers above me got me tempted so much, that I decided to dry run all the possible combinations with OS, Eclipse and JVM trio. Anyway, whoever is digging down and reading my post, check the following as a hot spot (I am Windows 7 user).
You understand Program Files and Program File (x86) are two different folders... x86 stands for the 32-bit version of programs and the former is the 64-bit version.
If you have multiple versions of Java installed with different bitness and release versions, which is bound to happen with so many open source IDEs, managers, administrative consoles, the best option is to set the VM argument directly in the eclipse.ini file. If you don't, Eclipse will go crazy and try searching itself which is not good.
Alternatively, get the same "bit" version of JRE and Eclipse and then create a new shortcut with the below target (replace the installed JRE and Eclipse location/path):
"C:\studio\eclipse.exe" -vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\server\jvm.dll" eclipse.vm="C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\server\jvm.dll" java.home="C:\Program Files\Java\jre7" java.runtime.version=1.7.0
That should do the trick.
You can solve that problem as many other replicated. You need that Eclipse and the JDK be 32-bits or both on 64-bits. The architecture of the OS doesn't matter while the others remains on the same type of arquitecture.
One of the easy ways to resolve it is to copy the jre folder from installed the JDK into the Eclipse installation folder. Make sure that JDK you copy from is the same architecture as your Eclipse installation.
I had to configure my machine that way, because I run both Eclipse and Appcelerator Titanium Studio on my machine. The Studio needs 32-bit Java, while Eclipse needs 64-bit.
Yes, just make sure your versions of Eclipse and JDK are both 64-bit. Just to make sure everything is correct uninstalled JDK and install it in Program Files and not in Program Files (x86). At least that resolved my problem.
Just check the PATH environment variable. In My Computer - > Properties -> Advanced System settings -> Environment Variables -> (left upper window "User Variables for "some name of PC"" ) just check the PATH variable. If it doesn't exist create it with the following -- > C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin <--
I was faced with the same problem after had updated my Eclipse. I've found that the path asked 64-bit version, but I had the 32-bit in dif path. It was helpful for me. P.S.: I have a 64-bit OS, 32-bit JRE and 32-bit Eclipse. All works fine :)
You should uninstall all old [JREs][1] and then install the newest one... I had the same problem and now I solve it. I've:
Better install Jre 6 32 bit. It really works.
Downloaded 64 bit JVM from site and installed it manually and updated the system path variable. That solved the issue.
Default JVM is installed in my system was in "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Java\jre7"
Manually installed JVM got installed in
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7" and after updating this pate to system
path variable it worked.
Thank you misterfrb, I realised that Eclipse was giving this error, because I had just installed Oracle 10g Developer suite, and it was looking for the jvm.dll file in the C:\DevSuiteHome_1 folder (I must have opted to install JDK again along with developer suite).
After removing the DevSuiteHome lines from the paths variable and adding the correction location for 64-bit jvm.dll (not sure if this was necessary, didn't try without), Eclipse worked again, and Developer suite still does too.
Simple, I have a 64-bit OS, 32-bit Eclipse and both JDK 32 & 64 installed... I just uninstalled the 64-bit JDK and Eclipse is working fine..
I had the same issue after upgrading from Java 6 to Java 7. After I removed Java 6 (64 bit) and reinstalled Java 7 (64 bit), Eclipse worked. :)
It is crucial to add the -vm parameter and its value on 2 lines AT THE BEGINNING of the eclipse.ini
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin\javaw.exe
You have change proper version of the JAVA_HOME and PATH in environmental variables.
I want to previde another solution for this error, especially for who want to use 32-bit and 64-bit Eclipse in one system.
Eclipse will startup using the JRE/JDK in jre sub-directory if it exists. (STS or other eclipse based IDE also support this feature...)
The solution is create directory junction using mklink.exe command which exist in windows vista or newer version (junction.exe offer similar function for Windows 2000/XP)
Open the command line windows and exeute following command:
mklink /j "$ECLIPSE-HOME/jre" "$JDK_or_JRE_home"
Of course, if the Eclipse is for 64-bit Windows, the architecture of JDK/JRE must be the same.
Assume:
Eclipse for windows x86_64 is installed in d:\devTool\eclipse
JDK for windows x64 is installed in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0
The command for creating the jre folder will be:
mklink /j "d:\devTool\eclipse\jre" "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0"
BTW, delete directory junction will NOT delete any file. If you create a wrong link, you can delete it using file explorer or rmdir command.
rmdir "d:\devTool\eclipse\jre"
Make sure you are starting Eclipse with Administrator rights.
If you use whole 64-bit trio and it still doesn't work (I've come to this problem while launching Android Monitor in Intellij Idea), probably wrong jvm.dll is being used opposed to what your java expects. Just follow these steps:
Find the jvm.dll in your JRE directory:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\server\bin\jvm.dll
Find the jvm.dll in your JDK directory:
c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_xx\jre\bin\server\
Copy the jvm.dll from JRE drectory into your JDK directory and overwrite the jvm.dll in JDK.
Don't forget to make a backup, just in case. No need to install or uninstall anything related to Java.
The same occurred to me. I had 64-bit Eclipse, but my JDK was 32-bit. So I installed the 64-bit version and it's OK right now.
I'm not sure why but I had the jre installed into my c:\windows directory and java.exe and javaw.exe inside my windows\system32 directory.
Obviously these directories were getting priority even AFTER adding the -vm flag to my eclipse.ini file.
Delete them from here fixed the issue for me.
On the download page of Eclipse, it should be written "JRE 32 bits" or "JRE 64 bits" and not "Windows 32 bits" or "Windows 64 bits".
Be sure to use the correct version compatible with your JDE, as answered previously.
I'm using eclipse on what I thought were all 64 bit runtime environments. The current settings Java>installed JREs and Execution Environment all point to jdk1.6.0_30 which is a 64 bit version of the JDK. However, eclipse still thinks it's running a 32 bit version because when I run:
System.getProperty("sun.arch.data.model");
it returns 32 instead of 64.
And the external JNI resource that I compiled for 64 bit machines will not link to the shared .so file unless it's running in a 64 bit enviroment. (I'm getting word size mismatch errors when I try to do this)
So How can I reconfigure eclipse to run 64 bit jvm. Does eclipse itself have to be a 64 bit version?
:on linux
Edit: I have tried everyone's suggestions and nothing is working. I've changed the execution, and enviroment variables to point to the newst JDK I have which is 1.6_30. when I run the program from a command line I get 64 and amd64 as the value when I run the same program in eclise I get 32 and i386. Something is wrong in eclipse that is causing it to try and run it on a 32 bit JVM. when I try java -d32 -version it says that a 32 bit enviroment isn't installed but Eclipse doesn't know that. I've modified the Eclipse.ini file and still nothing is working. I've restarted eclipse after these changes...nothing. Can some one who knows eclipse well people help me out here. thanks
Add the -vm tag to eclipse.ini or the shortcut to explicitly specify a JRE. Note that the default for Windows XP is to use the CRAPPY JRE that comes with Windows.
-vm "%JAVA_HOME%/bin/javaw.exe"
In eclipse.ini add:
-Xmx8g
-d64
For me its working properly! . Make sure your path is c:\Program File not c:\Program File(X86) ( if you installed 64 bit JDK it should store in c:\ Program Files)
Eclipse configuration is explained here
The "installed JREs" (better use JDKs) are used for building and running your code and can be of different architecture or Java version. The JVM used for running Eclipse is defined in the eclipse.ini file. You should use the version for the architecture of the JVM.
Okay. This has been rather headache inducing, but I believe I have a solution. After changing the eclipse.ini, Go to your project properties. Under the Run/Debug settings, edit the launch configuration for your project. Under the JRE tag, click installed JREs. When that dialog comes up, click search. Go to your program files folder, NOT the x86 one, and let it search for your JREs. When the latest comes up, deselect the JRE that was currently selected and select the most recent JRE that it found. I renamed mine JRE7-64 just so I could identify a difference. This solved the issue on my end. Good luck
I think there is a bug in the Run Configuration page.
I had to add the 64-bit JRE in run configuration, select it, and DELETE the 32-bit entry (even though it was already deselected).
eclipse.ini didn't work for me.
This is Eclipse Luna.
