Eclypse 3.2 fails to start after Java update [message #1701922]

I have Eclypse 3.2 on a 64b machine that has been running fine with Java 8.45. When I updated Java to 8.51 Eclypse now does not start with a Exit=13 error. If I uninstall Eclypse and reinstall it, will it (1)fix the problem and (2) will it affect my .java and .class files in my workspace? Unfortunately I failed to create a restore point before I updated Java. See attachment for Exit = 13 Error.

Same exact problem just occurred for me, including error message. The error message is kind of hard to decipher. However, there are some older answers that may help:

In my case, I suspect I allowed Java to update with a 32-bit version when I running a 64 bit Eclipse and PC. Am going through redoing the update now to make sure I have 64-bit. Will report back if/when I learn more.

[EDIT] Yes, reinstall, with 64-bit worked. Actually, what I did was reinstall my Java SE JDK, and had it put in the public JRE (which overwrote the update I did that put in the 32-bit version). Eclipse is now happy and running again.

I hope this works for you as well.

You should read all the Announcement messages at the top of the forum, especially the one titled Eclipse won't start? READ THIS FIRST...

Thanks Phil, your solution worked for me as well. I simply reinstalled Java JDK 1.8_45 and Eclipse started working again. I suspect the same thing happened where I got my versions of Java(32b or 64b) mixed up. I later discovered I also had a 32b version of JSE on my machine that was for my Foxfire browser, I have since updated that to the 64b version. Firefox is running OK now.
