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.

  • Okay, no it is starting to get really strange! Removed JDK 64 Bit, isntalled 32 Bit and now I'm getting the exact same error on Eclipse 32 Bit, that it fails to load the jvm.dll! – yan.kun Aug 12 '10 at 19:52

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.
