eclipse jvm configuration

  • Find the JVM If a JVM is installed in the eclipse/jre directory, Eclipse will use it; otherwise the launcher will consult the eclipse.ini file and the system path variable
  • Eclipse DOES NOT consult the JAVA_HOME environment variable
  • eclipse.ini The most recommended way to specify a JVM for Eclipse to run in is to put startup configuration into the eclipse.ini file
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • To specify a JVM using configuration file, include the -vm argument in eclipse.ini, for example: -vm c:/jre/bin/javaw.exe
  • Note: there are no quotes around this path as would be required when executing the same from the command-line were the path to contain white space, etc. This is a common mistake when using Windows.
  • You should always use -vm so you can be sure of what VM you are using. Installers for other applications sometimes modify the system path variable, thus changing the VM used to launch Eclipse without your knowing about it.
