I downloaded two JDKs and I downloaded two separate versions of Eclipse, but every time I try to run either version of the application, I get this error message:

index.php/fa/27271/0/


Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm in college studying computer science so I need to have Eclipse up and running as soon as possible in order to complete assignments.

Thanks!

Did you use the Eclipse Installer to create this installation? It generally knows the right -vm option to add. Did you add this one yourself manually? It sounds a bit like this problem:

I can guess what -XX:UseStringDeduplication is supposed to do, but I'd give good odds on it not being a supported option, and why the VM keeps exiting abnormally.

Nitin, note that if these are bad options, the latest Eclipse's itself always has those, e.g., these appear in the downloaded Neon.1 packages:

-XX:+UseG1GC
-XX:+UseStringDeduplication

Also, even the Eclipse Installer produces those, though not explicitly but rather (I assume) via the touch point instructions in the artifact metadata.

So if that's really a problem, it seems questionable they should always be included because the appear to be specific to the Sun JVM. But I assume all JVMs support -XX options and should generally ignore unrecognized options.
