For eclipse to run on Linux or Windows, there is a minimum requirement for JRE or JDK to be found.
Two ways:
Way #1: Setting environment variable $PATH via file ".bashrc"
#
# Java JRE
#
if [ -d /opt/java/jdk1.6.0_01 ]
then
PATH=/opt/java/jdk1.6.0_01/jre/bin:$PATH
fi
Way #2: Specifically specifying the java machine
/opt/eclipse/eclipse -vm /opt/java/jdk1.6.0_01/jre/bin/java

I'm having a problem getting eclipse to run on Ubuntu. Here the step to reproduce the issue:
Step 1) Download JDK and unpack it into location:
/opt/java/jdk1.6.0_01
Step 2) Download eclipse and unpack it
tar -xzf eclipse-j2ee-europa-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
sudo mv eclipse /opt/eclipse
Step 3) Run eclipse:
/opt/eclipse/eclipse
I get the following error:
A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK)
must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine
was found after searching the following locations:
/home/foo/eclipse/jre/bin/java
'java' in your current PATH
What is wrong here? What exactly the eclipse is looking for?
