i want to use BIRT reporting tool of eclipse for which i have downloaded the following zip:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/indigo/SR2/eclipse-reporting-indigo-SR2-win32-x86_64.zip
i do not have eclipse installed in my windoes 7 so i am using this link. now, i downloaded the zip, extracted eclipse folder from it, but when i double click on eclipse- application in that folder to run eclipse, i get the following error:
A jre or jdk must be available in order to run Eclipse. No java virtual machine was found after searching th efollowing locations:
[Drive]:/...eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe
javaw.exe in your current PATH
what could be the reason? how do i solve it?
Install JDK first and then install Eclipse.
Java is not provided in a Windows machine by default. And it is not installed as part of Eclipse.
You have to download it and install Java in your PC
