Answer 2

The thing is you have to install the jdk or else..... The eclipse will give an error message so, to install it double click it and install it and go to the directory where it is installed and right click on bin and copy the location like c./blahblah and now click advanced properties and the window opens properties of computer and..... Click on fourth box and add file called JAVA_HOME and In location paste the location of n
Bin.... Voila done!

Answer 3

You may also have the issue i had. The auto download option for eclipse may give you the 32 or the 64 bit version. If you aren't using the matching version of the jdk it will not recognize you have it even if you have that jdk bin in your PATH. I ended up manually downloading a newer 64bit version of the jdk from oracle and adding its bin to my PATH and it solved the issue.
