Ive been frustrated with problem since a day. I can't get eclipse to work.
I did a fresh install of win 10 x64 2 days ago.
I have installed java jdk 1.7 x64 bit, and set the JAVA_HOME & PATH variables Properly(I checked by using java,javac,java -version,javac -version and echo %JAVA_HOME%, on default CMD window from run).
Surprisingly,Android Studio is running perfectly.
But eclipse wont.(error : eclipse could not start Java virtual machine)
I uninstalled, reinstalled... nothing changes. I set the java path in eclipse.ini. then finally the eclipse splash screen appeared for the 1st time.(pointing to javaw.exe gave error that eclipse could not start Java virtual machine)
But then it would crash giving the error msg to check the log.
When i checked the log the last few lines state (the log is around 1000 lines)

I've searched google up and down but i cant seem to find a solution!
I'm pasting the eclipse.ini and configuration\config.ini files for you to review.

I am ripping my hair out trying to find a solution to this.
Note: Everything is a fresh install. Java,Eclipse, Android Studio, Windows. System is 64 bit and so are all the installation files.
Please Help
Ok, This is rather embarrassing... The problem was Java.. eclipse neon requires Java 8. Installed that and everything was up and running.
Thank you for the help everyone. :)
