Eclipse reported “Failed to load JNI shared library” [duplicate]

Answer 1

JRE 7 is probably installed in Program Files\Java and NOT Program Files(x86)\Java.

Answer 2

Yep, in Windows 7 64 bit you have C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86). You can find Java folders in both of them, but you must add C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin to environment variable PATH.

Answer 3

First, ensure that your version of Eclipse and JDK match, either both 64-bit or both 32-bit (you can't mix-and-match 32-bit with 64-bit).

Second, the -vm argument in eclipse.ini should point to the java executable. See http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini for examples.

If you're unsure of what version (64-bit or 32-bit) of Eclipse you have installed, you can determine that a few different ways. See How to find out if an installed Eclipse is 32 or 64 bit version?

Answer 4

Installing a 64-bit version of Java will solve the issue. Go to page Java Downloads for All Operating Systems

This is a problem due to the incompatibility of the Java version and the Eclipse version both should be 64 bit if you are using a 64-bit system.
