Eclipse ganymede startup error

Question

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...

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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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