I'm on both java 32 and 64, So I set up the path to my java 64 and when I did javac in cmd it was working fine, when I downloaded and ran eclipse, it gave me this following error

Java was started but returned exit code=13

Don't use this Java, get a real download, preferably from java.sun.com.

No problem. The fastest thing I can say is have a look at:

Then come back and ask more.

Hi Ryan,

I don't understand the exact cause of the problem from the log. What I would do (if no one gives a better solution) is:

  1. Uninstall your current Java.
  2. Install the JDK from Oracle's website.
  3. If it doesn't work, try to download eclipse (whichever version you need) again.

You can configure which Java to use inside eclipse after it works.

I just happened to set up Juno today, downloading new JDKs (1.6 and 1.7)
as well as Tomcat 6 and 7. I'm up and running and I followed the same
procedure I wrote down in that summary I gave you even though I wrote it
back before Helios had come out. So these instructions work for Europa
through Juno with no trouble.

You appear to have installed a 64-bit Eclipse. I think the JRE you're
using is 32-bit (don't ever use the JRE under Windows\system32 anyway).
I gave you instructions on how to download Eclipse and a proper JDK/JRE
including warning about bittedness. If you follow these directions, it
will work.

If the directions are confusing or inadequate in your particular case,
you may need to find someone who can be physically present to help,
something I can't do obviously.

Best of luck.

Don't uninstall your current Java: leave it alone for use by your
computer. Instead, download and install a copy of Sun Java separately,
but when it asks you for the path, change this to something like
C:\Users\ryan\jdk1.7.0_x. Then modify your eclipse.ini to point to it.

Especially don't mess with C:\Windows\system32\javaw.exe.

In this way, the fate of Java and Java applications on your computer
have nothing to do with running Eclipse and developing in Java and what
you're doing in Eclipse won't be disturbed by some update to Java
(though these are usually safe).
