Hi all, I'm trying to get up and running with Eclipse under macOS 10.13.1 / High Sierra and I'm getting the complete runaround with the Java part.
I first got the message "To open 'Eclipse" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime." I clicked "More info...", which took me to the Oracle legacy Java SE 6 download website, and I installed the software I downloaded from there.
Next I got the message "Version 1.6.0_65 of the JVM is not suitable for this product. Version 1.8 or greater is required." I've hunted around a bit but I have had no success finding this and in fact I have no idea if I'd even recognize it if I found it, since I have very little knowledge of Java. Among other things, I don't know how to determine which version of JRE is running on my computer. I tried just downloading and installing Java 8 (specifically, jre-8u151-macosx-x64.dmg), but this didn't change anything.
Can anyone help?
A separate question: I'm trying to get set up with the IDE for C/C++ development. A colleague recommended Oxygen. I'm not sure if I'm even trying to install the right package. I've downloaded and installed both eclipse-cpp-oxygen-2-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.dmg and eclipse-inst-mac64.tar.gz, but with both, I don't get beyond the Java version issue. Can anyone guide me here?
P.S. I can't resist grumbling a bit: If Eclipse is based on an unsupported legacy runtime, shouldn't that just be included as part of the installation?
Best regards,
Matt

I'm confused by your problem description. You used the installer and that worked? But you didn't pay attention to link and the location to which you installed it so afterwards you can't find it? The installer won't run because you don't have the required version of Java? You've installed an actual Java 8 JDK (not a JRE) and something (the installer?) still doesn't work?
It must be sounding odd enough, but yeah eduloh, I've installed Java 8 JRE... I'm not a digital guy, and everything seems too complicated to me..
Yeah, it sounds really strange, you would better just to do exactly like Ed Merks have advised.
