Solution

  • It may just be the way the error shows (and not how it is written in the eclipse.ini file), but there is text in Eclipse.ini (Specifying the JVM) that says the following:

    • The -vm option and its value (the path) must be on separate lines.
    • The value must be the full absolute path to the Java executable, not just to the Java home directory.
    • The -vm option must occur before the -vmargs option, since everything after -vmargs is passed directly to the JVM
