Eclipse fails to open and gives me a very long error. [Java]

Question

I am attempting to run eclipse (4.15 I believe) and after opening the program it gives this error window.

I believe it is a version problem. However, I cannot find anything in regards to my version being not up to date or too advanced. I am running java 1.8.0.

@PythonNerd it is version compatibility issue. Hence I asked you to provide all informtion. — Nitin Bisht, Apr 27 '20 at 18:21
I have 32 bit java, I believe 64 bit eclipse (not sure how to check) and 64 bit windows. is the java version the problem? — PythonNerd, Apr 27 '20 at 18:30
@PythonNerd in that case you need to use java 64 bit. Try with that and let me know if you still encounter the same issue. — Nitin Bisht, Apr 27 '20 at 18:38

Use one of the following combinations:

32-bit OS, 32-bit JDK, 32-bit Eclipse (32-bit only)
64-bit OS, 32-bit JDK, 32-bit Eclipse
64-bit OS, 64-bit JDK, 64-bit Eclipse (64-bit only)
