eclipse keep crashing with exit code 1

Question

I have been learning java for a while but this problem just occurred a few days ago.

I have tried the following methods and none have worked:

Adding -Xint to the ini file
Adding --XX:-UseCompressedOops to the ini file
Adding -XX:+UseCompressedOops to the ini file
Running as Administrator
-vm

c:/wherever/java/jdk1.6.0_21/jre/bin/server/jvm.dll

I think this is a lot to read through. Thank you so much!!

Here is the error message

Eclipse error

Here is what's in my eclipse.ini

 -startup
 plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.100.v20150511-1540.jar

Exit code 1 isn't very helpful; however, there's a log file in the workspace that you can add to your post or on pastebin; that will help us better locating the problem. — Tassos Bassoukos, Dec 14 '15 at 21:29

Ok, so you're specifying a 1.6 VM in the .ini (why do you need to do that? it's 8 years old by now, just let the system VM run) but there's an -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7 in the error message; further, do you have a C:\Windows\System32\javaw.exe, and what version is it?

I have no ideas why it's set up like that. I installed it a few months ago the way it's taught in a java tutorial. It worked perfectly fine for the past few months but it started crashing a few days ago. I do have that file and the version is: 7.0.790.15 – whales Dec 16 '15 at 04:16
