  • Your PATH environment variable is probably not pointing to the correct path where your JRE is installed. In the link that I posted, you have information about how to edit the PATH variable in Windows. The correct path of your JRE probably ends with ...../jre/bin (or something similar). What is happening is that Eclipse is trying to start and, to do that, it needs Java, which is installed in your system but Eclipse is not finding it. – Mario Cervera Jun 22 '16 at 18:09
  • this is me jre installed path C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_71\bin , i have editted eclipse.ini and added C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_20\jre\bin , still im getting the same error i have attached the screen shot above. – user1402648 Jun 22 '16 at 18:12
  • No, @MarioCervera, do NOT use PATH to specify to Eclipse where the JVM is. `eclipse.ini` is the proper way to go. – E-Riz Jun 22 '16 at 18:16
  • Hi E-riz/Mario , could any one tell me to sort out this issue. – user1402648 Jun 22 '16 at 18:19

    If it's under `Program Files (x86)`, it's 32-bit. Your 64-bit Scala requires a 64-bit Java Runtime. – nitind Jun 22 '16 at 18:32
  • yeah , its great help, i ahve downloaded 32 bit eclipse and now i m able to run eclipse, thanks a lot for the promt help. – user1402648 Jun 22 '16 at 18:48

There is lots of misinformation about this out there, including SO answers. The right way to specify to Eclipse what JVM you want it to run in is via eclipse.ini. Other options are less than ideal and/or susceptible to system changes breaking them.

Pay careful attention to the format of the ini file and the exact path it requires; it is very picky.
