Eclipse won't even start up since i moved it, i get this error messsage: A
java runtime environment (jre) or JDK must be available in order to run
Eclipse. No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following
locations: C\Program Files\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe 'javaw.exe' in your
current PATH

I HAVE CHANGED THE BUILD JAVA BUILD PATH TO THE REAL LOCATION OF JAVA JRE
AND IT STILL DOESN'T WANNA TRY THERE, SEE ERROR MESSAGE! ( it wants to
look in eclipse folder, why?) I moved it to C\program files\ and now it
thinks the jre should be in its own folder. Thanks all.

That is a very bad idea - that way you have no control over what JVM
Eclipse is using (or any other Java programs on your system).

See this page for the recommended way to get Eclipse to use a specific
JVM to run in:
