Eclipse isn't working [message #1466757]

Hello,

I tried to install minGW for eclipse. But it didn't work out so well.

After i did one of the last steps, i couldn't start eclipse any more. I tried to reinstall eclipse and java. This is what the tutorial says to do:
"Setup environment variable PATH to include "<MINGW_HOME>/bin" where <MINGW_HOME> is the MinGW installed directory that you have chosen in the previous step."

So i changed the PATH to this:
C:\Users\kaspe_000\Documents\Programmeren\Compiler\mingw\bin

But when i wanted to start eclipse, i got this error:
"a java runtime environment or java development kit must be available in order to run eclipse"

Can anyone help me?

Go to the Oracle Java site and download Java suitable for your system.
Please note that 32 bit Eclipse needs 32 bit Java, and 64 bit Eclipse
needs 64 bit Java.

The Oracle site is <https://java.com/en/download/index.jsp>.

If you are intending to write C or C++, please check also that
your MinGW contains the compilers (gcc, g++).
