Go to http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp and follow instructions until Java is reported installed. Eclipse should now start. — Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen, Feb 23 '14 at 09:54

Make sure your system environment variable JAVA_HOME has been set.

On windows, set the variable in system properties to some path like:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk64bit_1.6.0_30

Or, on linux, edit /etc/profile, add the path below:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/share/jdk1.6.0_30

Then eclipse will find JDK to launch.

Before Installing Eclipse set PATH for your JDk in your computer.

Right click on computer GOTO properties and select Advanced Settings
One pop-up will appear select Environment variables and select new in user variables
Give variable name=PATH and Value=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\bin;.

Variable value where you installed your JDK select that path and Click OK, OK, Ok

Now yo can install your IDE
