I am getting the following error on startup:

"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:

C:\Program Files\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe

javaw.exe in your current PATH"

I am really trying to get back the “default” setup without messing stuff up.

I am running windows 7, Eclipse Helios, and Java 1.6.0_26.

In your eclipse.ini file make sure you are pointing -vm to your JDK installation. Make sure to add -vm before the -vmargs section.

Pass in the vm flag from the command line.
