Eclipse Mars wont start after Java 8 Update 71
<p>I installed the Java 8 Update 71 yesterday and now my Eclipse did not start after that. Windows only shows a short loading symbol on the mouse and that was it. Before I had the Java 8 Update 66 and everything worked fine.</p>

<p>So I tried to open it with the <code>-clean</code> parameter and set the path variable. Removed Eclipse and the whole <code>workspace</code> folder, but this didn't solved the problem. Then I uninstalled the java package in the windows software panel and the only one what is left right now, is the <code>Java SE Development Kit 8 Update 66</code>. Then I tried to start Eclipse and it works! But I don't understand why, because the Path Variable was set to the newer J8u71 <code>/bin</code> folder.</p>

<p>Now I am wondering, should I try to install the SDK 8u71 again or is this not needed? Since Oracle says it fix some security issues...</p>
