Eclipse - no Java (JRE) / (JDK) … no virtual machine

I am trying to get Eclipse Indigo to re-Start on my computer - i have run it before with no problems but now i getting error like this;

A java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations: C:\eclipse\jre\javaw.exe javaw.exe in your current PATH

How can i rectify this problem?

Answer 1

You can specify JVM in eclipse.ini file at the Eclipse root folder, like this:

-vm
C:\java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin\javaw.exe

This line must be placed before -vmargs options.

and for Linux

-vm
/..java address../bin/java

Answer 2

Try following:

• Look at your filesystem and make sure a java instance is installed in the mentioned path
• Open Eclipse and check the general preferences from Eclipse. Under 'Java' -> 'Installed JREs' must be a specified JDK configured.
• Next, open the general preferences 'Java' -> 'Build Path' -> 'classpath Variables' and look is there the jdk instance mentioned. If not, open dthe control settings from windows and add the variable 'Java_Home'.
