Answer 1

您需要选择主页，例如/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home

Answer 2

The link to your Java 8 environment must be broken. Go to Window , Preferences , search "jre", select Installed JREs , and create a new environnment. Give the path to a JDK rather than a JRE. Then, right click on your project, Properties , Build path , Edit the current JRE and replace it with the new one.

You will also need to right click on your project, Properties , Java compiler , and set the compiler compliance to 1.8.

Answer 3

I have Eclipse Luna 4.4 on my Mac OSX 10.10 and I was having the same issue. I was able to resolve it by going to Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs and "Add" the path to JRE home in the JDK: (/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home/jre). That did it
