On Windows 10 I have experienced problems starting up Capella. After selecting the workspace there is an error message: "Failed to start, see log file ...".

Posting a solution here since Googling didn't turn up much when I first started searching.

This appears to be due to dependency on Java 1.8.

If you are running a modern version of Java, then you will need to edit the ecplise.ini file to point the Java 1.8 JRE/JDK.

Add the following lines at the top:

-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_201\bin

(replace with your own JRE/JDK path.

This seems to work.

it'd be nice if the Capella team could support a more recent Java version... this is going to be barrier to adopting Capella broadly since Java 1.8 is now deprecated and hard to find a download for...
