Go to the directory where eclipse is installed and find a file called eclipse.ini. Open it and add the following lines

-vm
C:\Java\JDK\1.5\bin\javaw.exe

Make sure:

1. You add that text before any -vmargs option that may be in that file.
2. The -vm is on its own line and the path to javaw.exe is on its own line.
3. You specify the full path to your JDK 1.5's javaw.exe

1. Try to uninstall previous Java version (if it is present)

2. Find and replace with newer version the 'java.exe' binary, located somewhere on C:\Java\JDK\1.5\bin\javaw.exe

below answer is suitable for springsuite

-vm

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_12\bin\javaw.exe

in

springsuite also same

Go to installed STS.ini
For example

F:\springsource\sts-3.1.0.RELEASE\STS.ini open in editplus keep two lines before -vmargs as

-vm

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_12\bin\javaw.exe

it works sucessfully i had done it.

Do a echo %JAVA_HOME%. And make sure that it points to your new java version.

I had same issue with java 1.5 when i installed 1.6. Removed 1.5 by deleting jdk and then installed 1.6 and set java_home which solved this issue.

My problem was the same, after having started Eclipse only once with Java 7 and then wanting to go back using Java 6.

Solution: In eclipse.ini I restored the value "1.6" for what was "-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7".

HTH!

Follow below stepts that will resolve problem for sure.

1) Install latest version of jdk

2) Open eclipse.ini file in editplus (search for that file in eclipse folder)

3) write first two lines like below with your java path and your java version

-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12\bin\javaw.exe

after writing that two lines your eclipse.ini files looks like this

-vm

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12\bin\javaw.exe

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.0.v20100503
