  • I googled the error and found something. Did you try [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2030434/ddg#2843837)? – Burak Tutanlar Feb 13 '16 at 22:55
  • From a command line, try the command "java -version" . Just to check JDK is correctly installed. – xcesco Feb 13 '16 at 22:57
  • You also need to check that it is a 64 bit JVM if you are running Eclipse 64 bit, and a 32bit JVM if you are running Eclipse 32 bit. If the you don't have a >>matching<< JVM, Eclipse will say the above. – Stephen C Feb 13 '16 at 23:25
  • i have tried java -version command. it is showing the version. – Bhavith Reddy Feb 13 '16 at 23:26

Check if in the file eclipse.ini in the base directory of Eclipse there is a line for define the JDK to use to launch Eclipse. An example of parameter definition is:

-vm
C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_31/bin/javaw.exe

You have to check the following things:

  • The path exist and it is a JDK, not an JRE.
  • Eclipse version must same of JDK: an 64bit Eclipse need an 64bit JDK, an 32bit Eclipse need a 32bit JDK.

Hope it helps.
