Error Starting Eclipse in Linux: "Jvm Terminated. Exit Code=13"

Error starting Eclipse in Linux: JVM terminated. Exit code=13

Looking at the paths in the error it seems that you are not using eclipse from the ubuntu repositories (that's fine imo).

1. 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 a eclipse version for 64-bit. You have eclipse for a 32-bit jvm. See your error message where it says -arch x86

2. 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

You could add this parameter to your eclipse.ini file.

Helps?

This could be of interest as well: Eclipse starting error of JVM terminated. Exit code=13 after upgrading Ubuntu updates

Cannot run Eclipse; JVM terminated. Exit code=13

It may just be the way the error shows (and not how it is written in the eclipse.ini file), but there is text in Eclipse.ini (Specifying the JVM) that says the following:

• The -vm option and its value (the path) must be on separate lines.
• The value must be the full absolute path to the Java executable, not just to the Java home directory.
• The -vm option must occur before the -vmargs option, since everything after -vmargs is passed directly to the JVM

Eclipse does not launch (Ubuntu) : JVM terminated. Exit code=13

Usually has to do with incompatible architectures of Eclipse and the JVM. I am betting you got eclipse 32 bit trying to run on 64 bit jvm.

Cannot Start Eclipse. JVM terminated. Exit code=13. (RHEL)

You have eclipse for a 32-bit jvm. See your error message,it says -arch x86. Try installing eclipse 64-bits

I just install "Open JDK" and it fix the problem. Thanks
