Android – Just installed Windows 10 and Eclipse no more starts

64-bitandroideclipsewindows 10

I just upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10 (both 64-bit) and my previous Eclipse Juno with ADT-plugin for Android development is no longer starting.

All I can see is the mouse pointer showing that something is loading for a few seconds and then nothing else happens.

What I tried

  • renamed eclipse.ini to let it recreate it: did not even recreate it, so renamed it back.
  • turned on "Windows 8" compatibility on Eclipse exe. No changes.
  • tried to look at workspaceDir/.metadata/.log. No entries about this.

What follows are the contents of eclipse.ini:


    -startup
    plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20120522-1813.jar
    --launcher.library
    plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.200.v20120913-144807
    -product
    com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.package.adtproduct
    -showsplash
    org.eclipse.platform
    --launcher.XXMaxPermSize
    256m
    --launcher.defaultAction
    openFile
    -vmargs
    -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
    -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
    -Xms512m
    -Xmx1024m

And this is the Java version I have installed:


    C:\Users\user>java -version
    java version "1.8.0_51"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_51-b16)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.51-b03, mixed mode)

I'm stuck. Where can I find more clues since I've still not found others experiencing the same issue?

Best Answer

Solved.

Just uninstalled completely Java and JDK (also manually deleted "Java" folder in "C:\ProgramFiles") and downloaded and reinstalled the very same version of JDK Windows x64 from here, and everything works again now.
