How to solve "Failed to load the JNI shared library..." error

First, ensure that your version of Eclipse and JDK match, either both 64-bit or both 32-bit (you can't mix-and-match 32-bit with 64-bit).

Second, the -vm argument in eclipse.ini should point to the java executable. See http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini for examples.
