I get the following error when I try to start eclipse in linux. My JRE version seems correct and the OS 64 bit is correct as well. I have read solutions to this issue posted by others and tried them, but I still get the problem. Any help to solve is problem is appreciated.

$ which java
/opt/tools/wh/dtd/RHE-6/jdk/1.5.0_22/bin/java

$ uname -a
[snip] Tue Jan 29 11:47:41 EST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I started eclipse with the vm option
./eclipse -vm /opt/tools/wh/dtd/RHE-6/jdk/1.5.0_22/bin

JVM terminated. Exit code=13

This question has already been asked. From the answers there I found this:

Check if the jvm is 64 or 32 bit. "java -version" will tell you. If you find this is a 64-bit jvm then go back to eclipse.org and download an eclipse version for 64-bit. You have eclipse for a 32-bit jvm. See your error message where it says -arch x86

Try to start eclipse from a shell using the -vm parameter. On ubuntu you can find the installed jre/jdk's under /var/lib/jvm/. E.g.: ./eclipse -vm /var/lib/jvm/sun-java6-jdk/bin

This is the original thread: Error starting Eclipse in Linux: "JVM terminated. Exit code=13"

  • the jvm is 64 and the eclipse version is 64-bit. As indicated in the question. I also tried to start eclipse using the -vm parameter and it did not work either. – Nevi Jun 03 '17 at 04:21
