Could not create the Java Virtual Machine Error A Fatal exception has occurred

Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine Error A Fatal exception has occurred, the program will exit.

While after installing Eclipse Neon and JDK 1.8 I got the above error opening eclipse

Image – 1

Command to check java  version installed in the machine

Open command prompt type java -version as per the image – 2

It is now showing java version in the above image.

Solution:

Go to the eclipse installation folder and find eclipse.ini file

• Find the line which starts with -vm
• Add java run time binary path in the second line
• C:\Program Files\Java SDK 1.8\bin\javaw
• You can add the line If the -vm line in the eclipse.ini configuration is not there before the line starts with -vmargs
• Then you can add the above line
• Find if it’s set -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8 then change this to currently jdk version.
• Now save the configuration file and close

Now if you try opening eclipse you should not receive any error.
