You can go here to download the Java JRE.

You can go here to download the Java JDK.

After that you need to set up your environmental variables in Windows:

Right-click My Computer
Click Properties
Go to Advanced System Settings
Click on the Advanced tab
Click on Environment Variables

EDIT: See screenshot for environmental variables

The most likely reason why the Java Runtime Environment JRE or Java Development Kit JDK is that it s owned by Oracle not Google and they would need a redistribution agreement which if you know there is some history between the two companies    Lucky for us that Sun Microsystems before it was bought by Oracle open sourced Java and MySQL a win for us little guys     Thank you Sun   Google should probably have a caveat saying you may also need JRE OR JDK

download jre1 7 0 45 and then extract it into the Eclipse folder and rename folder of jre1 7 0 45 to jre and Eclipse will run

If using win7 64 bit OS   After installing the latest JDK make sure you copy the jre folder from the install location  C  Program Files Java jdk1 7 0 40  directly to your eclipse folder as even pathing it apparently does nothing on win7   Mad  edit    Actual jdk version number on folder name will vary as newer versions are released

Your problem is that you have 64-bit eclipse running but you have 32 bit JRE So please download JRE for 64 bit windows and let it install on the default location  Finally add that path till bin in your PATH variable  Try it should work
