You have a 32 bit Eclipse and a 64 bit Java, they must both be 32 bit or both 64 bit. — greg-449, Jul 17 '15 at 09:04

open file

eclipse.ini

and add two lines below opnFile and above -vmargs commend in eclipse.ini

-vm
C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_51/bin

where C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_51/bin path is your JDK bin directory path
