What the host os? Do you have a JAVA_HOME environment variable? I JAVA in your PATH variable?
From your message:
"cannot find 'Program Files\Java\jre_1.8.0_25\bin\javaw.exe'".
Eclipse is looking form javaw.exe in directory with the .dll (no javaw.exe)!
Look into the above first!
You could modify the eclipse.ini file to point eclipse to the version of Java that you want it to use:
-vm
[put path here]/javaw.exe

You can set up your system to make your files in the same folder. The Eclipse IDE and the Java JRE need to be located in the same folder.

I am glad that worked for you. I was able to do the same and the Eclipse C/C++ IDE worked for me.

Eclipse & Java JRE do not need to be in the same directory!
Eclipse does need to be able to find JAVA v8.0+ on your system just like any other java based program.
I added the java directory under Eclipse solely for distribution among our software team.

Oh...I was unaware of the two programs working w/out them being in the same directory. I am a novice now. I know very little about absolute PATH and the other path.

P.S. If you have any workaround solutions, let me know. I sure could use some extra advice.]]>Seth Nowlin2018-03-27T01:26:24-00:00
