Eclipse. JVM Terminated -1

I installed Eclipse Europa (3.3) and Eclipse Ganymede (3.4) but could start none of them. Starting eclipse fails with

Eclipse laucnher: JVM terminated, exit code -1

I eventually found a fix, that requires to change the eclipse.ini file (I replace « new lines » with « spaces »)
eclipse.ini diff

Hope this helps!

Othere suggestions include:

  1. I suspect this reformats the new lines as well, depending on the editor used []

7 commentaires for Eclipse. JVM Terminated -1

Actually, I recommend getting the right version of Eclipse — 64bit — if you are on Vista 64 and getting these JVM Terminated -1 errors.

I have updated my post to make this more clear.

Cheers!

Thanks for pointing the mistake, filsa. I read (too) quickly your post (my environment was 32 bit, so I knew your solution would not help me).

I have corrected the post.

Hey, thank you, that line breaks were exactly the problem, which made my Eclipse don’t start! Now it works :)

What’s wrong. I had to do yet again the same thing for Eclipse Galileo (3.5)

Just couldn’t believe my eyes. I had the same problem with Galileo, 32-bit OS, 32-bit JDK. Everything was working great until one day when eclipse just wouldn’t start anymore, the same error message. I tried to reinstall JDK, but it has nothing to do with it.
Replacing new lines with spaces in eclipse.ini did the trick. Thanks a lot! :)
