Newbie in need of help [message #1058142]

I know nothing about programing, and am trying to learn C++. I have downloaded the programs that the educational program I am using recommended, but when I try to open eclipse I get the message,

"A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (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

When I look in eclipse, there is no "jre" file, and I have no idea how to fix this. As I said above, I am a complete novice in programing. Can someone please tell me how to get past this point without using any programing type language.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Robert

You need a JDK/JRE in order to run Eclipse. Eclipse doesn't include
one. You have to install one separately. Here is a link explaining
what is required.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Installation

You may also have to point to the JDK/JRE. The best way is to edit the
eclipse.ini file.
