I have an eclipse installation on an windows 7 64 bit machine. Everytime I start the eclipse ganymede (by double clicking eclipse icon) I see this problem. ...See image...

Eclipse ganymede startup error

I see win32 in the image snapshot could this be a problem? I do not see any log files in the eclipse installation location.

eclipse.ini file:

-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-vm
D:\DevProgs\Dumps\JVMS\win32-jdk1.6.0_23-b05\bin\java.exe
-framework
plugins\org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.0.v20080605-1900.jar
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
-Xms150m
-Xmx512m

Please let me know if more information is needed.

Thanks, Ayusman

Looks like you are running the 64-bit Sun JVM. Eclipse runs against the Win32 windowing system system. Most of the time this is not a problem but you might want to install the 32-bit JDK and try running Eclipse against that.

  • I pointed my eclipse install to a 32 bit SDK and no luck... please look at my initial question above to see how my eclipse.ini file looked. – Ayusman Nov 11 '11 at 16:16

You're using 32bit Eclipse on a 64bit platform. You need to download and use the 64bit Eclipse.

  • I went to this link: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/ganymede/sr2 and I do not see any 64bit windows package. is there any other link I can get 64 bit install? – Ayusman Nov 11 '11 at 16:12
  • Ganymede is 3 years old. Use Helios or Indigo. There's a link to Indigo SR1 64 bit in my answer. – BalusC Nov 11 '11 at 16:13
  • I already have those setups. I had some old eclipse ganymede projects and that is when I encountered this problem. I am just curious on how to solve this problem. – Ayusman Nov 11 '11 at 16:18
  • Just reimport projects in Indigo? – BalusC Nov 11 '11 at 16:19
