I wish to run Eclipse for C++ on Vista but I absolutely do not want to run the JRE installation. Is there any place where I can get a JRE in a zip that I can just dump in the Eclipse folder and have it work?

No, it can not be done the way you described it. The JRE needs to be installed using the Installer. Why would you be so afraid of installing JRE on your machine? Without it, Eclipse won't work, as it is by itself a Java application and runs in a JVM.
Use a package from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/ , you can unzip and run it without any installing.
Eclipse is an IDE that runs on a java VM. It only requires a jre.
You can run Eclipse by copying the JRE into the eclipse/jre directory (wiki documentation).
The JRE is distributed with the Java JDK (/path/jdk1.6xxx/jre). The JDK uses an installer, but you can just copy this directory from another machine, install and uninstall the JDK or whatever.

Download the JRE offline installer, right click on it, and have 7zip/winrar/whatever unzip it.
You'll get a folder with a fully funcional JRE, but no install required :)
You might want to read this to run Eclipse with that JRE.
