Error occurred during initialization of VM (java.lang.StackOverflowError) in Android

Question

Today I suddenly started encountering

Error occurred during initialization of VMjava/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/ref/FinalReference

in Eclipse Indigo. I followed here and also I tried here and now I am getting:

Error occurred during initialization of VM java.lang.StackOverflowError

I am building an Android application using Eclipse Java EE IDE.

EDIT: I don't know why it caused the problem but now I am able to run my activity by going through run-run configurations-android application-run.

This problem is similar to stackoverflow.com/questions/3197708/…. — Mukesh Kumar

Problem persist due to JVM. If you will give command like java -version. It gives same problem.

If you want to start eclipse.exe by means of the following :

E:\softwaredownload\eclipse-jee-helios-SR2-win32\eclipse>eclipse -vm "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\jre\bin\javaw.exe
