Answer 1

After another try it worked without any problems on my machine.

PS. I switched vim to emacs....

Answer 2

You may want to start with -Djava.awt.headless=true and see if that solves the issue... I used to run into this with old JVM's if I wanted to run certain graphing packages (back in the day).

Answer 3

eclipse may have some compatibility issue with the JVM. make sure that eclipse and JVM have same bit.(32 or 64bit)
