Description akm2tosher CLA 2011-07-21 05:03:12 EDT 
Build Identifier: eclipse 3.7 jee indigo win32 x86_64 

I wanted to use Eclipse IDE for JAVA development.

So, I have downloaded "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" which is a windows 64bit version. Then I extracted it to "C:\" directory. As a result I have found a folder named "eclipse".

As eclipse need JRE to run, I have downloaded "jdk-6-windows-i586.zip". I have extracted it and found three things: two folder named Database GUI and Free Java IDE and a .exe file named "jdk-6-windows-i586.exe". I have run this .exe file and it installed JDK in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java" directory. There are three folders in this directory jdk1.6.0, jdk1.6.0_02 and jre1.6.0.

I have added "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.6.0\bin" to system path.

Finally, I have double clicked on eclipse.exe located on "C:\eclipse". But, it shows a message 'Failed to load the JNI shared library "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.6.0\bin\client\jvm.dll"'. 

I went to that directory and I found jvm.dll. So, what is the problem? 

I don't know what can I do. Anyone can help me please?
I am totally new to this forum. Please help me.

Reproducible: Always

The JRE you downloaded is a 32-but version. Either download a 64-bit JRE or a 32-bit Eclipse.

For further help see also http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_run_Eclipse%3F.

YES! It works after installation of 64 bit JRE installation.
Thank you very much.
