Do you have Quick Test Pro installed? Another issue exists on stackoverflow that resembles your problem where it was QTP related. — Aditya K, Feb 22 '13 at 18:46

Clear these environment variables; the QTP brings them:

JAVA_OPTIONS:

-Xrunjvmhook -Xbootclasspath/a:C:\PROGRA~2\HP\QUICKT~1\bin\JAVA_S~1\classes;C:\PROGRA~2\HP\QUICKT~1\bin\JAVA_S~1\classes\jasmine.jar

IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS:

-Xrunjvmhook -Xbootclasspath/a:C:\PROGRA~2\HP\QUICKT~1\bin\JAVA_S~1\classes;C:\PROGRA~2\HP\QUICKT~1\bin\JAVA_S~1\classes\jasmine.jar

JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS:

-agentlib:jvmhook

This is also solved by creating a bat file for and blanking out the environment variables prior to launching the application, see the link for solution.

Thanks a lot to addie. You give me the clue about QTP. Actually I had QTP. It was ok together with QTP. But when I tried to uninstall qtp, it was not successful and left some file. So I find all files that comes with qtp and delete them manually. After removing all files, eclipse start normally.

how to solve this eclipse launch error?
