Hi,
I've
java 7 installed on my machine. I downloaded eclipse oxygen to begin with and it require at least java 8 to run. So, I installed java 8. However, I do not have admin privileges to set the jdk path to system variable. Is there a way that I can set path in user variable and make it work?
I tried creating user variable "Path" and set java 8, but it did NOT work. the java -version still gives me java 7.
On the other note, when I see %PATH% in cmd prompt, I do not see java 7 in there either, I believe system takes java 7 exe from Windows/System32. I don't have access to this folder either to copy java 8 exe. Also, I see the java 8 path appended to this %PATH% variable at the end.
C:\......<other components>....;C:\jdk8\bin
Please help me to set java 8 and make my eclipse run.
