Build Identifier: eclipse-cpp-helios-win32-x86_64 Following a download of eclipse-cpp-helios-win32-x86_64, and following a double click on eclipse.exe, a message box reports: 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:\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe javaw.exe in your current PATH >> I have, however, downloaded the latest releases of both JRE (Version 6 Update 20) and JDK. >> I have updated the path to include C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin. Doing this creates other problems ("Failed to load the JNI shared library C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\jvm.dll," which, in fact, is in that location). >> I have directly copied javaw.exe in C:\eclipse\jre\bin\. Eclipse doesn't open after doing so. >> The Eclipse web site recommends Java 5. Sun, however, says Java5 is EOL now (http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. See details above. 2. 3.
A couple of points. 1) CDT is just a part of eclipse-cpp. This problem has nothing to do with CDT. and 2) You say you downloaded the x86_64, i.e. 64-bit, eclipse-cpp but then have the x86, i.e. 32-bit, JRE installed. They need to be the same.
