Eclipse will not open due to environment variables
I'm using eclipse IDE and I tried to run a project, but I'm getting error. It says the javaw.exe cannot be run.
I reinstalled Java, now I have JRE 7 and also I installed Jdk, but still no luck.
I opened cmd to run javaw.exe and it says:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin>javaw.exe
The system cannot find the file C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe
I think eclipse is installed correctly, but I have some trouble with Java. I reinstalled Java for 4 times. I don't know what to do. I can't forward with the tutorial that I'm trying to understand.
Make sure to download these from here:
Also create PATH
enviroment variable on you computer like this (if it doesn't exist already):
- Right click on My Computer/Computer
- Properties
- Advanced system settings (or just Advanced)
- Enviroment variables
- If
PATH
variable doesn't exist among "User variables" click New
(Variable name: PATH, Variable value : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0\bin;
<-- please check out the right version, this may differ as Oracle keeps updating Java). ;
in the end enables assignment of multiple values to PATH
variable.
- Click OK! Done
To be sure that everything works, open CMD Prompt and type: java -version
to check for Java version and javac
to be sure that compiler responds.
I hope this helps. Good luck!
Just update your eclipse.ini file (you can find it in the root-directory of eclipse) by this:
-vm
path/javaw.exe
for example:
-vm
C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_09/jre/bin/javaw.exe
