    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?

    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!

    @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?
