How to specify jdk path in eclipse.ini on windows 8 when path contains space

Question

This doesn\'t work -vm %JAVA_HOME%/bin/javaw.exe

How can I replace %JAVA_HOME% with full path on windows 8 when path contains space (\"program files\" directory)

Answer 1

Go to C drive root in cmd Type dir /x This will list down the directories name with ~.use that instead of Program Files in your jdk path

Answer 2

Add the entry of vm above the vm args else it will not work..! i.e `

    -vm
    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_75\bin\javaw.exe
    --launcher.appendVmargs
    -vmargs
    -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
    -Xms40m
    -Xmx512m
