Setting up Eclipse with JRE Path

You can add this line to eclipse.ini :

-vm 
D:/work/Java/jdk1.6.0_13/bin/javaw.exe  <-- change to your JDK actual path
-vmargs <-- needs to be after -vm <path>

But it's worth setting JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME anyway because it may not work as if the path environment points to a different java version.

Because the next one to complain will be Maven, etc.

Add this to eclipse.ini:

-vm
your_java_path\bin\javaw.exe

...but be aware that you must add these lines before -vmargs

I have several version of JDK (not JRE) instaled and I launch Eclipse with:

C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -vm "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javaw.exe" -data f:\dev\java\2013

As you can see, I set JAVA_HOME to point to the version of JDK I want to use.

I NEVER add javaw.exe in the PATH.

-data is used to choose a workspace for a particular job/client/context.

Add the following -vm D:/Java/jdk1.6.0_30/bin/javaw.exe in the begin of eclipse.ini like this :

-vm
  D:/Java/jdk1.6.0_30/bin/javaw.exe
  -startup
  plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20130327-1440.jar
  --launcher.library
  plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.200.v20130807-1835
  -product
   org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product
   --launcher.defaultAction
   openFile
   --launcher.XXMaxPermSize
   1024M
   -showsplash
   org.eclipse.platform
    --launcher.XXMaxPermSize
   1024m
    --launcher.defaultAction
   openFile
   --launcher.appendVmargs
   -vmargs
   -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
   -Xms1024m
   -Xmx2048m

This may sound dumb, but it may be a fresh, or damaged install, so is the JDK installed? If not, go to the download site and download the latest version of Java JRE. Like I said, this may sound dumb, but it solved my problem.
