Here is a screenshot of the error:

index.php/fa/13453/0/

I try the tips I found here in the following links. But still didn't work, the statements are not recognized something like that.

We tried to resolve the error by updating the JVM in my friend's laptop. After that still the error appears everytime we launch the eclipse.exe.

We just really need to install eclipse for us to do our project.
Thanks in advanced.

This typically happens when you've got more than one JRE on your
computer and the bad (old) one just happens to be found first in your
PATH variable.

Please follow the instructions (referred to in your second link) on this
