First, check if the JDK is installed.

Once installed, check if the variable PATH was configured. For that reason,

  1. Right click on My Computer and go to properties;
  2. Click Advanced System Settings;
  3. Click on Environment Variables;
  4. Locate the variable PATH in the 'System Variables' table. Click on it and then on the 'edit' button;
  5. Add the path where JDK was installed. Ex.: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_71\bin
  6. Give OK on all previous open screens and try to open Eclipse;

  • I have a similar problem, but in case my environment variable is right, pointing p to a java 1.6, I deleted some references of java 1.7 that they had on the machine, but I did not use, and now the eclipse no longer opens

This is because you downloaded a 32-bit version of Eclipse and tried to run it with a 64-bit version of Java, and vice versa. Just download the version corresponding to your JDK and this will be solved.

Execute the command java -version in the prompt command.

    I did not understand the negative vote, despite a brief answer, it describes a possible situation that may cause the problem, although the author’s problem may not be of others. + 1

  • Yes, I also did not understand, I had this problem and I decided by fixing the Java vs Eclipse versions.
