Eclipse not finding JRE/JDK...

dr0p · 2009-03-21 00:05:33

Well I'm trying to get Eclipse up and running, but whenever I launch it it tells me...

JRE or JDK needed.
No java virtual machine was found after searching:
/usr/share/eclipse/jre/bin/java

How would I go about pointing it to the real path for JRE? Thanks.

I am assuming you already have jre and jdk installed. I have seen a couple of threads where eclipse was not recognizing the jre/jdk path correctly.

Yes, I have JRE and JDK installed.

Have you logged out/in or sourced /etc/profile sine the install of jre/jdk. This adjusts the JAVA_HOME path to point in the right place.

Thanks, that worked ^_^ I feel stupid for not having tried this ._.

Perhaps we should make the JDK/JRE .install files export JAVA_HOME? I haven't looked at the packaging for them, but it seems everyone has a problem eventually relating to this.
Maybe something similar for everything that installs in /opt, since PATH needs refreshing... at least have pacman tell the user to source /etc/profile.

Anyways, OP, please mark your thread as [SOLVED] by editing the first post
