Firstly, thank you in advance for any and all help. I am a complete newcomer!
So, I installed eclipse. Then, I installed java 8. Then, I tried to open eclipse. Following message appears: "Version 1.6.0_65 of the JVM is not suitable for this product. Version: 1.6 or greater is required.". So, after visiting this forum, I read about Eclipse.ini, in order to "specify a java virtual machine" as recomended. However, Eclipse.ini was meaningless to me because it was too complex. I couldn't understand it. Please, I want only to open Eclipse. I do not understand why this is so difficult. When I installed the Arduino IDE, for example, I just clicked download and began writing code.
Help would be greatly appreciated. I am a beginner, so please keep you language simple!
Many thanks,
Richard Hausman.

Richard,
Maybe try the new installer:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/installer.php
It will detect all your JVMs and use one that will work, or tell you
which one you need if none of them will work.
