JRE and JDK intalled but Eclipse doesn't starts

Question

I have installed JDK and JRE.

I just downloaded ADT PLUGIN x64 and x86 in my Win 8 pro x64.

But when I start Eclipse, it still says "A JDK or JRE is necessary to run Eclipse....not found in your PATH..."

I added the PATH to bin directory of JDK too but It did not work.

@user2511414 is it the case of 63 or 32 bit? I have win 8 pro 64 bit — Umair Ayub, Oct 01 '13 at 19:07
no difference, but it's recommended download the JDK1.7.0.40 X64 — , Oct 01 '13 at 19:10
@user2511414 I have googled now and some have answered that their problem solved after installing jdk 64-bit. I am now dowloading jdk-64-bit, let see if it works. — Umair Ayub, Oct 01 '13 at 19:14
@UmairAyub could you fix the problem?! I'm happy if I could give some hand. — , Oct 01 '13 at 20:38

possibly can have your jdk and jre duplicates. For safety uninstall completely and install again. As a recommendation works with the JDK and JRE for x86.

When you have them installed correctly added in the Windows environment variables JAVA_HOME the direction of JDK folder.

for example

JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_23

The problem is that Eclipse does not know where to find your JDK.

The easiest solution is to go into your Eclipse installation folder and edit the eclipse.ini file so that the top line contains

-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_40\bin\javaw.exe

or wherever your JDK is located within your system.
