How to Fix the Error: Failed to Create the Java Virtual Machine
In this article, let’s see the Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine
error in Eclipse IDE and how we can resolve it.
This error message typically occurs when Eclipse cannot launch because it cannot create a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and this sort of error message happens when the installer does not find our JRE or JDK.
Fix the Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine
Error in Java
This can be caused by several factors, including:
-
Insufficient memory allocated to Eclipse
Try increasing the amount of memory allocated to Eclipse in the
eclipse.ini
file. -
Conflicting Java versions
Make sure that the version of Java that Eclipse is using is compatible with your operating system and computer.
-
Corrupted JVM
Reinstall the version of Java that Eclipse is using.
-
Pointing to the wrong JDK bin path
This is the most common reason for the error to come up. By default, the Eclipse installer searches for JRE or JDK installation in a path relative to where the installation is being run.
To fix this default behavior, the
-vm
flag is added to theeclipse-inst.ini
file and points to the Java utility’s location in the JDK installer’s/bin
folder.
Trying the above steps one by one may help resolve the issue.
