JRE Missing when installing eclipse

Question

So I'm trying to install Eclipse IDE for Java on my main pc. I had no problem installing it on my laptop but when trying to install it on my PC I get JRE Missing webpage.

I've installed the JDK and JRE and they are both working. I could use some advice.

Answer 1

Unless explicitly told in eclipse.ini Eclipse uses the system wide java command.

Easiest for you right now is to install a system wide JRE (same 32/64 bit flavor as eclipse).

Answer 2

i also had the problem with eclipse and the JRE.

Try to delete the 2 Java versions and deinstall eclipse. then install the JDK first and seccond the JRE. after the 2 installations install the new eclipse version(in the installer you chan choose between some installations take the first).

i hope I can help you.

Answer 3

I had the same issue. It was happening when installing different match of JDK version (11 in my case), with JRE (8 in my case).

So, in order to have this installation of Eclipse working make sure that you have both JDK and JRE referring to the same version. Installation will not work if they have different versions.
