I am pretty sure that my question falls under this thread category..... Anyways, i have downloaded and installed Eclipse because I want to make some plugins. I go to start Eclipse and it says: 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 these locations: C:\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe javaw.exe in your current PATH What should I do?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl-zzrqQoSE that explains everything soo well just follow his instructions
thanks very much! watching the video now yeah now i know how to do it the video really helped, but I'm not the admin on my computer and to install JDK i need the admin password. Thanks a lot anyway! EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
@ClJlB You can have Java installed locally, I believe you can download a package containing only the java files (no installer). Then you can place these files somewhere near (or in) your Eclipse folder and set the java environment manually, like so: Code: eclipse.exe -vm Java\bin\javaw.exe -data Workspace After -vm the path to the environment and after -data the Workspace folder to use. (in my case, it is named Workspace and I have a Java folder in my Eclipse folder. The shortcut starts in the Eclipse folder)
ok so where would i get the java files but no installer? i'll look it up as well, in the meantime. also, when i start developing, maybe we could make a plugin together?
