I have the Java Android SDK package downloaded and I also have a jre downloaded and put in the same folder as eclipse, but when I go to run eclipse it is not starting and is giving me an error message saying that it cannot find a jre. Wondering what is going on here. Thanks, Brett

Note you must have a JRE _installed_ in order for Eclipse to run. – Alex Wittig Feb 24 '14 at 21:45

Make sure `JAVA_HOME` and `JRE_HOME` are set. – Alex Wittig Feb 24 '14 at 21:50

You must have a JRE or JDK on your PATH in order to run Eclipse.
If you are on Windows 7, go to Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Advanced > Environment Variables. Find the Path system variable. Edit it and append the location of your JRE's bin folder to the end of it.
Note that the JRE will be enough to run Eclipse, but to actually compile any code you will need a JDK.
