Eclipse | How to fix Version of the JVM is not suitable for this product. 2023
IMPORTANT NOTE: Update your JDK This fix was tested in 2023 and it does still work
In this tutorial I’ll show youhow to fix this error in Eclipse: How to fix Version 1.8.0 of the JVM is not suitable for this product. Version: 11 or greater is required. When you dowloaded Eclipse for Java Development.
Correction: I made a mistake in my narration of the video. When you typed in the -vm command you must paste the file path in a new line direclty beneath it. Otherwise it won’t work. So it’s not for astetic purpose, it must be done that way. Sorry for any confusion so it should look like this
-vm Your file path
Text version of this tutorial:
1. Go into the main directory of eclipse. 2. Open the eclipse.ini (you can use notepad) 3. Open the java directory (it should be located in the programs folder) 4. When you are in the java folder, open the folder jdk - the version of your jdk and then open the bin folder 5. Copy the filepath 6. Go back to the eclipse.ini and then find the line -vmargs 7. Type in -vm and press enter one time, then paste in the before copied filepath. (Caution you must put the file path in the new line, otherwise it won’t work, so it’s not for astetic purpose it must be done the way I showed in the video) 8. Add \javaw.exe to the filepath (it should look similar to this C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-15\bin\javaw.exe) 9. Save the file, and you are done.

These timestamps are just so my narrating error is easier to notice 0:00 - Normal Video 1:43 - You must paste the file path in a new line (narration mistake) 2:00 - Normal Video again

0.48 -> let's say you just installed eclipse and
also don't need the jdk for java
4.319 -> programming and you get this error
message when trying to run eclipse
7.52 -> itself
so basically what this error message is
10.48 -> saying that we got an outdated version
of jvm
13.519 -> but if we just downloaded the latest
version from the java website
16.96 -> that can't be true so basically what
you're going to need to do to fix this
21.76 -> is you will need to go to the eclipse
main directory so in my case this is on
26.64 -> local disk c
then in program files and then we're
31.199 -> going to go to the eclipse
folder then we want to start
36 -> the eclipse.ini
so yeah we're just going to leave that
40.96 -> open here and we're going to go back to
our folder
44.32 -> what you want to do next is go to your
java directory so basically where you
48 -> got java installed
so in my case this is again local disk c
53.039 -> program files and then down here on java
so now you want to select the version of
58.8 -> jdk you installed
so in my case this is jdk 15
63.68 -> so i'm gonna go right here and then
we're gonna go into the bin folder
68.24 -> and the next thing we will do is just
copy the program path
73.2 -> so i'm just gonna press ctrl c
and then we're gonna go back here to our
78.92 -> eclipse.ini
so i just opened this with notepad and
83.28 -> yeah it doesn't really matter
so what you want to do next is find
88.08 -> where it says
v marks and basically go one line up
93.2 -> and then press enter it doesn't really
matter
96.72 -> if you got a few entries or that that
really isn't important
101.04 -> so what you want to add is minus
vm so just going to press enter another
106.799 -> time for
*you must paste it in a new line (I made a narrating mistake sorry)* and then we're going
110.72 -> to
paste in our program path
114.159 -> but before we save we want to add
another backslash
117.36 -> and then type in java w dot
exe after that we want to save the file
124.88 -> and yeah you're pretty much done if we
close
128 -> this again and go back to our eclipse
so right here and start it again you
134.64 -> will see that it works
so basically what happened is that
139.04 -> eclipse didn't choose the right library
and after we added those lines it will
144.08 -> now automatically start
from the right library yeah that's
149.2 -> pretty much it with this video
i hope it was helpful and if you got any
152.959 -> questions just leave them in the
comments and i'll try
