A JRE or JDK must be available in order to run Eclipse

[Former Member]

Hello Colleagues ,

I have started with the SAP HANA Basics course offered at OpenSAP .

I am at my first steps for Installing Eclipse .

Please refer to the following link :-

http://hcp.sap.com/developers/learningtutorial111.html

After Downloading Eclipse , i tried to ran the exe file .

"I got an error A Java Runtime Environment(JRE)  or Java Development Kit(JDK)

must be available in order to run Eclipse .No Java Virtual Machines were found after searching the following locations".

Please let me know if I am missing something ?

Regards

Nitin

You need to install JDK or JRE and configure it in your PATH env variable. See e.g. .

BTW, next time please do a quick search before posting your question - see also .

Thanks for all the Replies to my original post

When u start Afresh to Learn SAP HANA and installing the tools on 64 -bit windows  :-

Step 1 : Install JDK or JRE .

I found a link to share :

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html

Step 2 :

Once you are done with installation, set the env variables. Right click My Computer> properties> Advanced settings->Envoirmental Variables

Add two system variables:

E.g. if you have installed JDK . Its rests in the following path

JAVA_HOME: c:/program files/java/<jdkfoldername>

CLASSPATH: %JAVA_HOME%/bin

In My case

Step 3 : Download and Unzip

sapjvm-7.1.018-windows-x64.zip

Step 4 : Download and Unzip neo-javaee6-wp-sdk-2.34.16.1.zip

Inside your Folder DRIVE:\<Folderpath>\eclipse-jee-juno-SR2-win32-x86_64\eclipse

eclipse.exe file would be there run it .

Create workspace and start using .

Actually, Step 1 and Step 3 are not both necessary - you can use either SAP JVM or any other JDK (including one from Oracle).

Also, in Step 2 you have to set the PATH variable, not CLASSPATH.
