Build Identifier: 3.6.0 RC1

After executing eclipse.exe, an error message appears saying:
"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:
C:\Program Files\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe"

I previously had Version: 3.5.2 (Build id: M20100211-1343) wich worked (and still works).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Eclipse Classic 3.6.0 RC1 from the Development Builds
2. Extract it
3. run eclipse.exe
