problem running eclipse on ubuntu?

Question

I downloaded eclipse on ubuntu. But when I run it it show following error.

A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK)
must be available i         


        

Answer 1

You need to have a Java environment that can execute the Java instructions in Eclipse for it to run.

Install a suitable Java package in the package manager, and try again. Note that Eclipse does not require a JDK, a JRE is enough.
