I’m trying to learn servlets and JSP and would like to do this with Eclipse. When I click about in my current version, I get this info:

Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
Version: Helios Service Release 2

After searching a bit, it seems you cannot access these features with this version – you need “Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers”.

I’ve found a tutorial to install these plugings in your Eclipse installation, but I’m just getting a “failed”-message with no error message. After this, I decided to just download a new version (the EE one ofcourse) from the Eclipse website. The old installation is in c:\program files (x86)\eclipse, the new one in c:\program files (x86)\eclipse2.

The old one still works fine, but when I try to run the new one, I get this:

I have no clue what is wrong here. Am I doing something wrong? The only thing I want is to use Eclipse for JSP and Servlet Development (soon also EJB).

Thanks

    Eclipse cannot find your JRE/JDK. Put the JRE/JDK folder in your PATH variable. My JDK is located here:

    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24

    Should be a similar path for you. Add that to your PATH variable.

    Have look at this tutorial to find out how.
