Java was started but returned exit code 13

Question

Both eclipse and jdk are 64 bit.

Environment variables:

classpath: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\jre\lib
path: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\jre\bin

I added the these lines to my eclipse.ini file:

-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe

My java version details:

C:\Users\Owner>java -version
java version "1.7.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)

My eclipse.ini file: I have edited the required version from 1.5 to 1.7

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.100.v20110502
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7
-Xms40m

Please help. I have tried re-installing everything twice. Nothing has helped.

You'll need a maximum heap size larger than 384MB for anything useful. Which eclipse file did you download? — nitind, Dec 11 '13 at 08:08
The name says: Java 7 Update 45 (64-bit) and Java SE Development Kit 7 Update 45(64-bit) @greg-449 I am sure both are 64-bit. — user3089824, Dec 13 '13 at 04:43

and it seems like the eclipse.ini file has been manupilated before you have a 32 bit jvm, but your requirements are that of a 64 bit use the x86 java.exe n check if it works by that i mean use the ProgramFilesx86 path
