Reinstalling eclipse (newer version) did the trick for me.

Answer 2

The actual issue should be with the OS architecture, the JDK (32bit or 64 bit) installed and the eclipse type u installed.

There is a pretty good answer already posted here which explains it, but I'll summarize it in this answer for convenience.

You will need to go into your User Environment Variables panel and modify the following values:
