Download Oracle's JRE (Java Runtime Environment) and follow the manual Java setup instructions.
Move the Java folder into your eclipse directory. For example,
- Windows = C:\apps\eclipse\jre1.6.0_18
- Linux or Unix = /home/tpham/apps/eclipse/jre1.6.0_18
Modify eclipse.ini
Modify the eclipse.ini to point to your jre. Two key thing to keep in mind,
1. You can not mix 32-bit and 64-bit. For example, running Eclipse 32-bit and Java 64-bit will not work.
2. Placement of the -vm option is very important.
Here is an example of what the eclipse.ini would look like for Windows,
