Answer 1

1) create System variable: JAVA_HOME -> C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66\;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_66\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_66\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_66\

2) add to PATH -> C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66\bin\;C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;

Answer 2

It might be one of the reason that you are running two versions of JDKs, please check your JDK compatible version for Windows 10 - 64 bit.

please check the Java version first ...

from command prompt: java -version , you should see current java version running on your system like below :

C:\Users\xxxxx>java -version
java version "1.8.0_121"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_121-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.121-b13, mixed mode)

if you could see the above msg, then check your java - system variable set to :

JAVA_HOME : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121
PATH : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121\bin

Try Eclipse Oxygen (newer than Neon). I had problems with the installer that the Eclipse team recommends, so I downloaded and extracted the zip file under " Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers " / "64 bit" on http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/ (direct link: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/oxygen/1/eclipse-jee-oxygen-1-win32-x86_64.zip )

Then reference your Java version in the eclipse.ini file. Search for

-vm
C:\Java\JDK\1.8\bin\javaw.exe

on https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini for details.
