Eclipse doesn't launch (JVM terminated. Exit code=1)

Question

This is my java version(on Debian 8 Jessie):

java version "1.8.0_05"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_05-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.5-b02, mixed mode)

And after successful installation, I get this message and program doesn't launch:

JVM terminated. Exit code=1

I have searched and tested many methods (for example installing java8-oracle) but it doesn't work at all!

I did download this "jdk-8u5-linux-x64.tar.gz" and it has jre inside. — lovecode

Do not refer to /opt/jdk/jdk1.8/jre/bin/java directly. As it's a JDK, you should be using /opt/jdk/jdk1.8/bin/java.

I doubt it is a reason for crash.

Not sure if it is only issue, but UseStringDeduplication is available only from 8u20, while you are using 8u05. Please update java to latest available version - in addition to some new features, there is also a LOT of bugs fixes form early java 8 version, you don't want to be on receiving end of them.

I have recently had a similar problem for a version of Eclipse that has been running fine for years. I cut the -Xms (initial Java heap size) in half and Eclipse starts up again. I will wait along with you for a more intelligent solution.
