Java was started but returned exit code=13 eclipse
android, eclipse, java
Solution
The problem is that you are trying to start a 64 bit version of Eclipse with a 32 bit version of Java. You can download it from here
Start Eclipse with a 64 bit JVM and the problem will go away.
To do so:
eclipse.exe -vm c:\path\to\64\bit\bin\javaw.exe
You can also update the the first two lines in your `eclipse.ini` file to use the 64 bit java by default by doing the following:
-vm
c:\path\to\64\bit\bin\javaw.exe
Also, you can also download a 32 bit version of Eclipse for use with 32 bit Java. The key is that the bitness is the same.
Problem
I looked at all the other places and I can't figure out how to do it. How do you type `java -version` into the console. Because all I get back is that java is not recognized as a command. I went on the java site and I got the version 1.7.0_45 so I did this C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin\javaw.exe instead of C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe it didn't work either "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -1.7.0_45 It also didn't work. I've downloaded the most recent android `sdk` of October 30th from the official site.
