Search path jre & jdk

Hi all,

I've installed eclipse thru pacman along with jre and jdk and when I try to run eclipse I get a

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:
/usr/share/eclipse/jre/bin/java
java in your current PATH

What am I missing?

Re: Search path jre & jdk

your PATH environment variable needs to point to a directory containing the JRE.

On my system, I have a file called /etc/profile.d/jre.sh that adds "/opt/java/jre/bin" to my path. It's called at boot. I think it comes with the "jre" package (but I didn't check). So, you can

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/java/jre/bin

or reboot your computer.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
