So Eclipse was working windows installed some updates and restarted my computer then suddenly eclipse was not working. I have done some playing around with it and my java class path is correct I believe but eclipse will still only show the splash screen then immediately close.
Unless I run it with the -debug -consoleLog tags then it seems to work fine. Any idea how to fix this?
EDIT:
So when I launch it with the debug consoleLog tag the log says this

SOLVED:
So I figured it out eventually. At some point java.exe was put into my Windows folder which was also in my %PATH% variable. Once I deleted these I was pretty much home free.
Here is more information incase someone else has a similar problem: http://geekycoder.wordpress.com/2009/07/08/java-tips-adventure-in-resolving-the-java-error-error-occurred-during-initialization-of-vm/
eclipse.inifile. Have you directed Eclipse which JVM to use, as described in wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini ? – E-Riz
