Eclipse gives “Java was started but returned exit code 13” [duplicate]

Answer 1

I had the same problem. i was using windows8 with 64 bit OS. I just changed the path to Program Files(*86) and then it started work. I put this line in eclipse.ini file like,

-vm
 C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe

Answer 2

In your eclipse.ini file simply put

–vm
/home/aniket/jdk1.7.0_11/bin(Your path to JDK 7)

before -vmargs line.

Answer 3

I could resolve this issue by changing JDK1.8 64bit version to JDK 1.8 32bit(x86) version

Answer 4

When I uninstalled Java 8 it worked fine.

Answer 5

Instead of opening eclipse.exe , first open folder named configuration then you will get log file like 1401241141809.log ; open that log (open latest one) detail error will be listed there. Ex: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load 64-bit SWT libraries on 32-bit JVM

means you need to have JVM and SDK of same version.

Answer 6

I installed 32 bits ADT and It works fine without changing my configuration (Windows 7 64 bits, Java 6 32 bits).
