Unable to launch Eclipse application due to error : Could not create Java Virtual Machine [message #1852550]

Hello,

I am new to Scala programming language. I've completed the pre-requisites like installing Java(18.0.1.1). I downloaded Windows 64 bit eclipse from scala ide website.

While launching the eclipse application, I am seeing below errors in a window box.

Error : Could not create the Java Virual Machine.
Error : A fatal exception has occured. Program will exit.

I added below two statements in eclipse.ini file but it did not resolve the issue.

-vm C:\Program Files\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath\javaw.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath\javaw.exe

Appreciate it if someone can help to fix this issue.

Thanks,
Satya.

Make sure it looks like this:

-vm
C:/Program Files/Java/jdk-11.0.13+8/bin

I.e., two separate lines, before the -vmargs lines (with no trailing spaces). Look in the C:/Program Files/Java folder for the right installation of Java that you want to use.
