Eclipse - An error has occured. See the log file null

Question

I know this issue was posted like a thousand time. However, non of them seem to solve my issue.

When trying to open Eclipse, whether by clicking the on .exe or thru cmd with -clean command, I receive "An error has occured. See the log file null.".

So as mentioned in the other post, I deleted the .snap file or the workbench folder or the whole .metadata folder and yet, the error pops up. So I deleted Eclipse and downlaoded the Eclipse Installer .. and surprise .. same error.

Since I deleted Eclipse I do not have any log I'd know of.

Hope one of you, have a guidance for me, that would be great. :)

Thanks

Answer 1

In my circumstance, I ask my friend about java version (java -version in windows terminal). All you need is reinstall Java as his recommendation. (My java: java 1.8.0_161 Java SE and my Eclipse is Java EE 64 bit)

Answer 2

Well I was facing the same problem probably because I had multiple JVM versions installed in my machine. I fixed the problem by specifying the exact JVM I wanted eclipse to use in the eclipse.ini file.

-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_11\bin

Answer 3

So I was using Eclipse Mars 2 32-bit at C:\Program Files\eclpise\ on Windows 7 with Java 1.8.0_91 32-bit as well. Don't know why, but I ended up deleting Java and reinstalling it and it worked.

@E-Riz, thanks for you're help anyway :)
