Answer 1

Apache Directory Studio Edit the configuration file for ADS. Mine was here

C:\Apache Directory Studio\ApacheDirectoryStudio\ApacheDirectoryStudio

Take a backup of the file before editing it.

Add the following lines to the bottom of the file and save it.

-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\bin\javaw.exe
--launcher.appendVmargs
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7
-Xms256m
-Xmx1024m

Works now :)

The same technique also works for Eclipse. Just edit the eclipse configuration file in the same way. Mine was here: -

C:\Eclipse\eclipse\eclipse

Answer 2

Apache Directory Studio requires the JDK and will show that error when it tries to run on a normal JRE.

Find the ApacheDirectoryStudio.ini file in the application root (e.g., in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Directory Studio")

Add or update these 2 lines in the INI ['C:\Program Files\Apache Directory Studio\Apache Directory Studio.ini'] (adjust the JDK path according to your setup):

---

• -vm
• C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_60/bin

---

Answer 3

This has been resolved.

The issue is that, my "Apache Directory Studio" is 64bit and my "jdk" is 32bit. So I just uninstalled the jdk 32bit and installed jdk 64bit, after this issue has been fixed.

Thanks everyone for sharing your knowledge.
