java was started but returned exit code=13

When you try to launch eclipse after installing, may end up with the "java was started but returned exit code=13"

Eclipse launch error

This could be due to the the version mismatch of eclipse or java or OS bit level.

Solution:

1. Try installing the same version (32 bit or 64 bit) of eclipse and java.
2. Make the eclipse to use the version of java you specify in 'eclipse.ini' file, which can be found in the root installation directory of eclipse (G:\eclipse) by adding 

-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_11\bin\javaw.exe

above the -vmargs line in the file.
eclipse.ini


 This should solve the start up issue.
