Eclipse: troubles setting up the java 8 jdk and jre

Sep 18, 2014 14:25:25

hello I'm having troubles setting up the jdk

in my system varible path I put : \;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_20\bin;

and in JAVA_HOME I have: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_20\bin

in cmd I did the check by typing in java -version and javac -version

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\grantb>java -version
java version "1.8.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_20-b26)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.20-b23, mixed mode)
C:\Users\grantb>javac -version
javac 1.8.0_20

these are the errors I'm getting in eclipse

Description Resource Path Location Type
Build path specifies execution environment JavaSE-1.8. There are no compatible JREs installed in the workspace. Turtle Shapes Build path JRE System Library Problem
Description Resource Path Location Type

The project was not built since its build path is incomplete. Cannot find the class file for java.lang.Object. Fix the build path then try building this project Turtle Shapes Unknown Java Problem
Description Resource Path Location Type

The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files Turtle.java /Turtle Shapes/src line 1 Java Problem
So what have I done wrong here.

Build path specifies execution environment JavaSE-1.8. There are no compatible JREs installed in the workspace.

This one is pretty easy. Go into Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs and add the JRE for Java 1.8.

BTW, JAVA_HOME should not end with "bin".

I use Luna release of Eclipse with Java 1.8.0_20.
Can you check following two things in your eclipse:

1. In Preferences, point to correct JRE.

2. In Project properties, ensure it is pointing to corresponding JRE library.

3. After all properties are set, restart Eclipse.
