I’ve just connected to a machine I never worked on, and tried to run Eclipse there. Unfortunately, I got the error:

Eclipse:
JVM terminated. Exit code=14
(my configuration details here)

I guess there’s either a problem with my configuration or with that machine’s setup, but Exit code=14 does not give me a lot of information to go on. What does that mean? Where should I start?

I intentionally omitted my configuration details because I’m looking for a general explanation of that exit code, not a specific fix for my configuration.

    It could be related to bug 9027: Workbench should check JDK version on startup

    You could have an incompatible (ie too old) JVM: the code 14 has been referenced in this comment as:

    The main launcher detects the JVM terminates with exit code 14. Is the
    following message sufficient?

    Please use a newer VM. Eclipse requires at least 1.3.1.

    It can also be related with an incompatibility between what is installed on the system and what Eclipse needs when launching: see for instance this example.
