Eclipse - no Java (JRE) / (JDK) … no virtual machine

Question

I am trying to get Eclipse v3.5 (Galileo) to re-run on my computer - I have run it before with no problems, but now I keep getting this error:

Answer 1

The JDK does not install a JVM in the default path.

Unless you need external tools to run like ant, the non-JDK is enough for Eclipse to run. The easiest way to install such a JVM is to go to http://java.com and let it install whatever it want to install.

Then double-click the Eclipse binary again.
