Netweaver Developer Studio 7.3 "JVM terminated exit code = -1"

[Former Member]

Hello,

the developer studio can not be started and the error which is shown is "jvm terminated. exit code = -1"

My system is windows7, I am using oracle java 1.6, NWDS (7.3 SP01).

This is my .ini file:

-vm

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin\

-startup

plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar

-nl

en

-vmargs

-Xmx512m

-Xms128m

-XX:PermSize=32m

-XX:MaxPermSize=256m

-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6

Very strangely, I actually succedeed to run the NWDS once when saving the .ini as unicode. But then I could not update the studio with new features, I got "Unsupported major.minor version 49.0u2033. I suspect that actually the studio could not be started properly with java 1.6, but with java 1.4, which was also installed on my system. After deinstalling java 1.4.2, the studio can not be started again.

Please, help me to resolve it.

I resolved the problem. The NWDS required 32-bit JVM and I used 64-bit.

The interesting thing is that java -version says:

Error loading: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\msvcr71.dll

Error occurred during initialization of VM

Unable to load native library: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform

Hi Teodora,

thank you very, very much for posting that solution! I spent a lot of hours with the same problem and couldn't find something at SAP standard docu locations!

Hi Teodora..

Awesome. I too had spent many hours in solving this problem and your post did the magic.

You are true and with 32 bit jdk everything went well.

thanks and regards,
