Eclipse cannot find JVM

Question

So eclipse cannot find the JVM.

• I have tried to change the eclipse.ini to include the jvm.dll and the javaw.exe where I am absolutely sure it included the right path.
• I have tried to change the environment variables to include the java.exe and the javaw.exe path but neither worked.
• I have also tried to reinstall eclipse and furthermore I have ensured I have a 64-bit installation of eclipse (and of course my computer is 64-bit) and the jre and the jdk are both 64-bit.

What am I to do?

EDIT:

Path environment variable

C:\WinAVR-20100110\bin;C:\WinAVR-20100110\utils\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe;C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe

-vm

Answer 1

Your -vm argument should be listed before your -vmargs arguments:

-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin

-vmargs

-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6

-Xms40m

-Xmx512m
