Eclipse crashes with exit code 1 [message #653614]

I know this is a known problem and I have been looking in a lot of other forums for a way to fix this problem but never found one that works for me. So I thought I should as here but I'm not sure if it's the right place.

As mentioned in the title Eclipse crashes and does it a lot. It gives no warning, just shuts down and gives the following message:

Java was started but returned exit code=1
c:\windows\system32\javaw.exe
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-jar C:\eclipse\plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.10.v201005 07.jar
-os win32
-ws win32
-arch x86_64
-showsplash
-launcher c:\eclipse\eclipse.exe
-name Eclipse
--launcher.library
c:\eclipse\plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32. x86_64_1.1.1.R36x_v20100810\eclipse_1309.dll
-startup c:\eclipse\plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100 507.jar
-exitdata bf0_5c
-vm c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_23\bin\javaw.exe
-vm c:\windows\system32\javaw.exe

-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-jar c:\eclipse\plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100 507.jar

I am using Windows 7 64 bit, Java 1.6 Update 23 for windows 64 bit, and eclipse helios 3.6.1 for windows 64 bit.

This is my eclipse.ini file:
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1. 1.R36x_v20100810
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vm c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_23\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m

I have tried to add the: -vm c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_23\bin\javaw.exe
line which I read about in some forum. I have tried to re-import the workspace which I read could be a problem too.

Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to solve this or at least point me in the right direction?

I appreciate any answer!

That fixed it!

I added the line:
-XX:-UseCompressedOops

to eclipse.ini and so far so good! 24h without crashing. A new record!

Adding '-XX:-UseCompressedOops' to the eclipse.ini worked!
Thank you all.
This has been driving me crazy for days!

This helped me too. I am a newbie setting up eclipse and C++ so it took me a couple of iterations as I was not sure where in the ini file I needed to add it and found it worked if it was the last line I had to add the command -XX:-UseCompressedOops
at the end of the eclipse.ini file:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.1.R36x_v20101122_14 00.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1. 2.R36x_v20101222
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
openFile
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin\javaw.exe
--launcher.defaultAction
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx192m
-XX:-UseCompressedOops

On windows 7, use '-XX:+UseCompressedOops' instead '-XX:-UseCompressedOops'.

If you are running Windows 7 and the error is still occurring, try running the application as administrator.

Try with java.exe instead of javaw.exe, worked for me

---vm
---<yourjavainstallation>/bin/javaw.exe
-vm "<yourjavainstallation>\bin\java.exe" -consoleLog -debug

I have tried all possible procedure above ,but none works.
As a comparision, I do the same building with the same eclipse and the same java on windows 10 , this error doesnot shows up anymore.

but for some reasons, we can not turn the server from windows 7 to windows 10, we do not know how to fix it.

I'm a bit doubtful that your problem is the same as above. Best would be if you provide specific details. E.g., which version of Java are you using? In which absolute path is Java installed? What's in your eclipse.ini, i.e., do you specify a -vm option in that file? Did you try installing using the installer, which tests the JDK/JREs on your system to choose an appropriate/correct one and record it in the -vm option of the eclipse.ini...
