Eclipse: Java was started but returned error code=13

This error occurs because your Eclipse version is 64-bit. You should download and install 64-bit JRE and add the path to it in eclipse.ini. For example:

...
--launcher.appendVmargs
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_45\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
...

Note: The -vm parameter should be just before -vmargs and the path should be on a separate line. It should be the full path to the javaw.exe file. Do not enclose the path in double quotes (").

If your Eclipse is 32-bit, install a 32-bit JRE and use the path to its javaw.exe file.
