Eclipse does not start when I run the exe?

Tags:

eclipse

When I run the Eclipse.exe within the given folder, it will not start. The Eclipse splash screen will appear for a split second then close. There are no errors.

I've tried practically everything. Updating JDK and JRE: I installed JRE 7 and JDK 1.7.0_40. Both 64 bit, and they are both in the (x86) folder. I've tried re-installing them. And re-downloading Eclipse. Same result every time. I've added the VM to the config, still nothing.

I use Windows 7 and the standard Eclipse for Java IDE.

Why is my Eclipse not opening?

If you've "installed" Eclipse but are having trouble getting it to run, the most likely cause is that you have not correctly specified the JVM for it to run under. You may need to edit the eclipse. ini file. Another common mistake on Microsoft Windows is a mismatch between the "bittedness" of Eclipse and the JVM/JDK.

How do I run an exe from Eclipse?

Open the folder C:\Program Files\eclipse . Right click on the Eclipse application ( eclipse.exe, with the little purple circle icon next to it) file icon and select Pin to Start Menu . This creates a new shortcut in the start menu which you can now go to open Eclipse.

How do I start Eclipse after installing?

Double-click the eclipse.exe (Microsoft Windows) or eclipse (Linux / Mac) file from your installation directory to start the Eclipse IDE. The Eclipse IDE requires at least Java 11 to run. If Eclipse does not start, check your Java version.

How do I fix Eclipse not responding?

If there is a project you earlier imported externally (outside of Workspace), that may cause this problem. If you can access Eclipse try to remove it. If you are getting the 'No responding at startup', then go delete the file at source. This will solve the problem.

Go to your Workspace folder then go to Metadata > plugins. Delete everything from this folder. Then it will work.

Warning: This will delete every configuration from Eclipse!
