When I try to start Server Tomcat 8 in Eclipse, I have this error:

A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x00007ffd233a2bbd, pid=6852, tid=3720 JRE version: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (8.0_66-b18) (build 1.8.0_66-b18) Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (25.66-b18 mixed mode windows-amd64 compressed oops)

Problematic frame: C [WS2_32.dll+0x2bbd]

It failed to write a core dump, and minidumps are not enabled by default on client versions of Windows.

What is the reason? How to fix it?

You need to have Eclipse, Eclipse Tomcat plugin (Server connector), Java used for the Tomcat in same JVM arhitecture. Either 32 or 64 bit.

Check server connector settings in: Window/Preferences/Server/Runtime environments/Edit. For the java version, be sure that you download 32 bit Eclipse.

In the past I found that Java 32, Eclipse 32 and 32 bit plugins have lesser bugs and in general work more stable than their 64 bit part.

I see no problem if you develop on 32 bit platform, and in production you have of course 64 bit platform.
