I'm an Android developer and long-time Eclipse user and I've never done
that (if I understand what you're saying). You only need your computer
host's PATH environment variable to point to Java if you plan on having
easy access to something Java-ish (like java.exe or javac.exe) from the
command line.
I publish and maintain articles on setting up Eclipse and other topics.
If you like, please peruse this page,
http://www.javahotchocolate.com/tutorials/eclipse-summary.ht ml,
especially the first two articles it links.
Then, if interested in my own Android experience, consider reading

Logan,
Objective C "doesn't require" you to do these things because it's a
narrow environment nearly for one purpose only--the development of
iPhone apps. Apple writes it; it doesn't do anything else; it is what it is.
Welcome to the great big world of the limitless possibilities of open
source software, Java, JEE and all that Eclipse supports including
C/C++, PHP, and countless other technologies.
Two days ago I gave you some references to hand-holding material I've
written and another article written by someone else. If you can now ask
"where is eclipse.ini? how to tell it which Java to run?" it's because
you haven't made any use of the resources and answers offered so far.
At some point, you will have to break down and make Google your friend.
It's what we do before we ask questions in any forum.
In the meantime, read and follow
http://www.javahotchocolate.com/tutorials/eclipse-summary.ht ml and all
your questions will be answered. You haven't yet asked anything that
this article doesn't answer.
Then, when Android gets difficult for you, read
http://www.javahotchocolate.com/tutorials/android.html and you'll
benefit from my own Android start-up experience.

For the THIRD time, I'm telling you to read the "sticky" messages at the
top of this forum group - they even have the text "READ THIS FIRST" in
their titles. If you're note willing to do a little of the research
yourself, you're not going to go very far in this community.
