Eclipse on Mac 10.8 - Installed 1.7.0 JRE / JDK, but Eclipse won't launch

Question

• Installed Java SE 1.7.0u10 from Oracle w/ their installer package

• Downloaded and unpacked Eclipse Juno (4.2.1)

• Double click Eclipse

Answer 1

I had same problem.

First of all ; JDK(java development Kit) and JRE(Java Runtime Environment) are different things. It was confused by people

In order to install eclipse yo should install latest JDK . So

1. Visit http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

2. Download suitable version for your mac

3. You can check your version now ; it won't be 1.6 anymore

4. Try to install eclipse again , see it works.

Good luck!..
