I was using eclipse with Java 1.7 but today I have uninstalled JRE1.7 and installed JRE1.6 in my machine to solve some issue. After that when I am starting eclipse I am getting below error in alert box:
---------------------------------------------------------
Java Virtual Machine Launcher

Error: Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'\CurrentVersion' has value '1.6', but '1.7' is required.

Could not find java.dll

---------------------------------------------------------

Please help how to solve this issue, Thanks in advance.

You can tell eclipse which JRE to use in the eclipse.ini. If you've
installed bundles that require 1.7 in your IDE you will need a 1.7 JRE
to run the IDE itself.

Thanks a lot Ed Merks.

I have added below lines to my eclipse.ini file and it started working fine now.
----------------------------------
-vm
C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_35\bin\javaw.exe
----------------------------------

Man, I'm really at my wit's end here. This Java error has totally derailed my progress on the site. If I don't get Eclipse working again soon, there's no way I'll make that launch date. Just when I was on a roll too - really starting to see the potential as all the pages were taking shape. But now it feels like I've hit a brick wall. I don't know how many more forums I can browse or troubleshooting guides I can follow trying to solve this. At this point I might hop over to this web-site and see if anyone in the company has any other ideas. These guys are usually pretty helpful over there. Fingers crossed someone can point me in the right direction to get back to building out my dream project. I'm not giving up on this idea yet - I just need to find a way past this tech roadblock!

Any more links posted to the company website and I'll ask all your posts to be removed. I get the feeling your posts are purely for that purpose, but that will be pointless if they are all deleted.
