I have installed JDK1.6.0_25 on windows 7 - 64 bit.
I have installed eclipse indigo on same system. I did not set JAVA_HOME or path to java.exe in PATH system variable. When I start eclipse, its picking up path to
java. Just to
test that its not picking up any other java path which may be installed on machine, I uninstalled the java I just installed. Now upon starting of eclipse, it throws an error message that JRE or JDK must be available for eclipse to run.
So, if I am not setting path to jre in PATH variable or JAVA_HOME, ow is eclipse obtaining that path ? Is there any mechanism , if yes whats that ?
Thanks
