Just installed Windows 10 and Eclipse no more starts

Question

I just upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10 (both 64-bit) and my previous Eclipse Juno with ADT-plugin for Android development is no longer starting.

All I can see

Answer 1

Retain single version of java and uninstall all other versions
and update the eclipse.ini text file as below but change the java path and versions appropriately.




-startup

--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.100.v20110502

--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform

256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile

Answer 2

You don't need to uninstall java. Just remove the following line from your environment(system) variables, which will be in starting of path variable. Windows 10 is keeping a copy of all your program files in ProgramData folder location .To confirm, Check the java version from your command line before and after change. It worked for me...

"C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;"

Answer 3

in the eclipse.ini file just add this line:

--add-modules=java.se.ee

after the --vmargs line

Answer 4

I solved this problem by first reinstalling java, then removing PATH variable "C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath" and resetting the PATH variable for JDK. steps for setting path variable:

1. go to control panel
2. double click "system"
3. click on "Advanced system setting"
4. click on "environment variable"
5. select "path" and click on "edit"
6. remove "C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath"
7. reset JDK path as "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65\bin" and "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65\lib\tools.jar"
8. click ok
9. restart eclipse. resolved. Here my PC java version is 1.8.0_65. Your may be different. But set path as your JDK version.

Answer 5

I was also having the same problem.I just checked my java version as stated above it was showing 1.8.0 so I just removed the "C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;" form the system variable and it solved my problem.

Answer 6

Solved.

Just uninstalled completely Java and JDK (also manually deleted "Java" folder in "C:\ProgramFiles") and downloaded and reinstalled the very same version of JDK Windows x64 from here, and everything works again now.
