Hi, when I try to run eclipse it give me the follow error
Error: could not open 'c:\eclipse\jre\lib\i386\jvm.cfg'
Why it search for jre in its directory?!?
I could run eclipse with the command "eclipse -vm <java bin path>\javaw.exe but I would like to know wath is wrong when i simply write eclipse.exe
To do install I simply downloaded and expanded it into C:\eclipse folder.
I have to do other to install it correctly?
Thanks

Eclipse always requires that you have a compatible JVM to run it in. If
you don't specifically tell it where to find the JVM, one of the places
it will look is in a directory named "jre" under its own root directory.

You should install a Sun JDK and then point Eclipse to its location
using eclipse.ini - see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini

Hope this helps,
Eric
