How to fix Eclipse starting Error that returns Java was started but returned exit code = 1

If eclipse couldn't be opened and returns the error message as Java was started but returned exit code = 1




1. Uninstall all the existing java applications
2. Install JDK 8 64 bit based on your windows os
 a. Search JDK 8 64 bit in chrome
 b. Open the first result on oracle site
 c. Under Java SE Development Kit 8u45 select windows *64 link and download it.
 d. Open and Install it
3. The path installed on program files installed should set path default to it. Click open eclipse now, it should open successfully.

If again the same issue exist, open eclipse.ini file and update the -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin\javaw.exe

Save and open eclipse, it should open successfully.
