After updating Java JRE, Eclipse does not start but quits with an error. How to solve this?

After updating Java JRE the following Eclipse error may show up:

 An error has occured. See the log file
 <workspace>\.metadata\.log.

The log file shows a line like:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid version number: Version number may be negative or greater than 255

To mitigate, install a previous JRE like version 202 which can be downloaded from here and use one the following options:

  • Modify the eclipse.ini file which is included in the \eclipse subfolder of the TASKING tools installation directory. Add the following two lines at the beginning of eclipse.ini:
    -vm
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_202\bin\javaw.exe
  • Or adapt the shortcut which starts the Eclipse executable and modify the Target by adding option:
    -vm "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_202\bin\javaw.exe"
