Error :- java runtime environment JRE or java development kit must be available in order to run eclipse

I tried to run "eclipse-jee-juno-win32-x86_64" , but it raised the following error ” java runtime environment JRE or java development kit must be available in order to run eclipse. No java virtual machine was found after searching in the folloiwng location …….. “.

Baring in mind that i have both java jre7 and Java jdk1.7.0_06 installed at C:Program FilesJava.

The other strange thing also that Eclipse used to run without any problems yesterday , but today i have downloaded the JDK 1.7.0_06 and i set the JAVA_HOME to be “C:Program FilesJavajdk1.7.0_06″so i don’t know if the problem is related to this ???.

So what might be the problem in running Eclipse? BR

Answer

Check the eclipse.ini file and make sure there is no -vm option there that is pointing to a non existing java install now. You can delete the option to let Eclipse figure out what java install to use or change it so it’s pointing to the new install.
