What is this startup error with Eclipse?

Question

I wanted to use Android Eclipse in my computer. But there is a problem which is blocking the eclipse.exe from running.

The Java JDK which is required for Eclipse to work, is already available. I have even updated Java to the latest version (1.8). But the problem persists.

Please check the image for the error

As shown in the image, I can't find this path in the specified folder,

...\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe

I also referred to this question but, I have set up %PATH% environment variable to Maven, which, I am using in other projects

What is the issue and how to rectify it ?

make sure all three are of same type if you have 32bit sdk then you need 32 bit jvm/jre and 32bit eclipse. — karan, Feb 18 '16 at 13:08

You should use Android Studio.

Important: Support for the Android Developer Tools (ADT) in Eclipse has ended, per our announcement. You should migrate your app development projects to Android Studio as soon as possible. For more information on transitioning to Android Studio, see Migrating from Eclipse ADT.
