    This solves the problem. I added the -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_32\bin\javaw.exe line to my eclipse.ini file and it started up just fine. Thanks for the help +1. Commented Sep 10, 2012 at 13:36

    this work fine please check your version of Java, run java -version in a console and Check that this is the version being used by Eclipse or not Commented Oct 10, 2012 at 9:48

    I did this with my Java 6 SDK, and it didn't work. I tried it again, pointing to my Java 7 SDK, and it worked. I'm on Windows 8 64-bit, Java 6 and 7 (both 64-bit) and Eclipse Helios (32-bit). I was ready to uninstall and re-install Eclipse 64-bit, but it seems the java 7 SDK includes some new intelligence to run 32 bit apps better. Commented Jan 9, 2013 at 15:40

    this works. but need to put -vm in the top of the ini file; at least before -vmargs or --launcher.xxx Commented Mar 27, 2013 at 1:33

    Very Very Important point that I missed. If you use like: "-vm C:\ProgramFiles\Java\jdk1.6.0_32\bin\javaw.exe" it will never work Correct way "-vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_32\bin\javaw.exe" New line after the -vm is very important. Commented Dec 27, 2013 at 2:11
