[FIXED] JVM Exited. Error Code 13 on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS/eclipse-jee-2020-12-R-linux-gtk-x86_64

Issue

I understand that this question may have been asked before and have gone through them but I am still stuck on the same JVM Exited. Error Code 13 while trying to launch eclipse on Ubuntu by directly specifying path to Java -

./eclipse -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java

Java

Eclispe Error

Error Log:

I have tried multiple Java distributions(8/11/15) - giving same Exit Code 13. I am not sure what exactly is missing here.

Solution

This seems to be caused by Eclipse bug 568604.

# characters in the install path are confusing Eclipse and causing it to look in the wrong place.

So install Eclipse in a location without # in the path.
