Trouble Setting up Eclipse with Java 1.7 [RESOLVED] [message #1075555] Mon, 29 July 2013 16:24 Go to next message

I'm running Crunchbang linux and the disk where my home directory is located got full. I moved a lot of software from my home directory to another directory, including some Eclipse software. Bottom line, Eclipse is not running for me now.

I installed the latest version of Eclipse, Kepler, and I'm trying to getting it running. I have created a new workspace. I have a java 7 environment on my system and when I bring up Eclipse and I look at the properties of a new project that I have created, I get the message:

JRE System Library [JavaSE-1.7] (unbound)

It looks to me that I have to somehow tie the java 7 code into the Eclipse environment. My java code is in /usr/share/java7/jre1.7.0_07.

Can anyone tell me how to connect java7 into Eclipse?

Thank you.

Why not search the help? Top result of search for "JRE" is:
http://help.eclipse.org/topic/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/tasks/tasks-JREs.htm?cp=1_3_5

Thanks for the pointer. I took a look at the documentation you provided. It looks like adding a jre should be straight forward except the help page gives and example that requires a home and a name for the JRE and then adding which libraries to the definition.

But the JRE pop-up page in the Kepler version of Eclipse has a form looking for a JRE definition file and a name for the JRE. I'm not sure what a definition file is so I'm stuck at this point.

Looks like you selected "Execution Environment Description" instead of "Standard VM"?

Yes, that was my problem --> wrong selection. When I tried adding 'Standard VM', it was straight forward. Thank you for you help Stephan. Everything is running fine now.
