Just installed Windows 10 and Eclipse no more starts

Question

I just upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10 (both 64-bit) and my previous Eclipse Juno with ADT-plugin for Android development is no longer starting.

All I can see is the mouse pointer showing that something is loading for a few seconds and then nothing else happens.

What I tried

• renamed eclipse.ini to let it recreate it: did not even recreate it, so renamed it back.
• turned on "Windows 8" compatibility on Eclipse exe. No changes.
• tried to look at workspaceDir/.metadata/.log. No entries about this.

What follows are the contents of eclipse.ini:

    -startup
    plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20120522-1813.jar
    --launcher.library
    plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.200.v20120913-144807
    -product
    com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.package.adtproduct
    -showsplash
    org.eclipse.platform
    --launcher.XXMaxPermSize
    256m
    --launcher.defaultAction
    openFile
    -vmargs
    -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
    -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
    -Xms512m
    -Xmx1024m

And this is the Java version I have installed:

    C:\Users\user>java -version
    java version "1.8.0_51"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_51-b16)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.51-b03, mixed mode)

I'm stuck. Where can I find more clues since I've still not found others experiencing the same issue?

Answer 1

Solved.

Just uninstalled completely Java and JDK (also manually deleted "Java" folder in "C:\ProgramFiles") and downloaded and reinstalled the very same version of JDK Windows x64 from here, and everything works again now.

Answer 2

I solved this problem by first reinstalling java, then removing PATH variable "C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath" and resetting the PATH variable for JDK. steps for setting path variable:

1. go to control panel
2. double click "system"
3. click on "Advanced system setting"
4. click on "environment variable"
5. select "path" and click on "edit"
6. remove "C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath"
7. reset JDK path as "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65\bin" and "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65\lib\tools.jar"
8. click ok
9. restart eclipse. resolved. Here my PC java version is 1.8.0_65. Your may be different. But set path as your JDK version.
