Hello everyone
So, right now I'm starting my adventure with Java development and I'm having inconveniences just on the beginning.
Getting this error when trying to turn on the Eclipse, I've tried 64-bit, 32-bit, jdk for proper bit, like 4 different versions from 1.6u17 to the latest one and i'm helpless.

Also have edited the eclipse.ini file and now it looks like this:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20140415-2008.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.200.v20150204-1316
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.appendVmargs
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
-vm
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\jre\bin\javaw.exe

-Xms40m
-Xmx512m

Please help me to fix this issue, I'm really willing to start working on Eclipse as soon as possible.

The -vm entries in the eclipse.ini file have to appear prior to the
-vmargs line.
