I use PowerDesigner 12.5 Enterprise Evaluation.

I want connect to mysql via jdbc.
I get the error: Could not Initialize JavaVM!
I have corrct settings under: Tools > General Options... >
Variables (JAR, JAVA, JAVAC, JAVADOC).
The values of this variables are correct.

Hello,
I found that in Path Variable must be also path to jvm.dll file - e.g
C:\sybase\_jvm\bin\client
I hope this helps.

Recently I had problem with running database reverse engineering via
JDBC. PowerDesigner reported "Could not initialize JavaVM!" problem.
OS: Windows7 64bit
PowerDesigner version: 12.5, 15.3

Solution: It appears that PowerDesigner requires 32bit JRE!!!
1) In menu Tools > General Options > Variables set variable JAVA to location of your java.exe (e.g. c:\java\jre6\bin\java.exe)
2) Add path to file jvm.dll to you PATH system variable (e.g. c:\java
\jre6\bin\client)
3) Create system variable CLASSPATH (if not exists) and add JDBC driver
for your database with full path into it (e.g. c:\drivers\jdbc\ojdbc14.jar)
