Eclipse not recognizing JVM 1 8

Question

Still trying to get Eclipse IDE to work and running into Incompatible JVM error  I followed the steps here  I installed Java 7 but Eclipse keep saying that 1 6 is not suitable for this product  But unfortunately to no effect  Running OSX 10 9 5 and uninstalled the out-of-the-box version of Mac  The new version of Java seems to show up in the System Preferences  Please see attached screen capture  I ve even done some of the basics like restart my computer  etc  Maybe there are other modifications I need to make to other files  I m comfortable with Terminal but new to Eclipse and Java  Thanks in advance

Echoing the answer  above  a full install of the JDK  8u121 at this writing  from here - http   www oracle com technetwork java javase downloads jdk8-downloads-2133151 html - did the trick   Updating via the Mac OS Control Panel did not update the profile variable   Installing via the full installer  did   Then Eclipse was happy

JRE is a Run-Time Environment for running Java stuffs on your machine   What Eclipse needs is JDK as a Development Kit   Install the latest JDK  and not JRE  from http   www oracle com technetwork pt java javase downloads jdk8-downloads-2133151 html and you should be good on Mac

Open up terminal and check what java version is currently set in your path variable    You can do that by typing in your terminal  java -version    this will check your jre version   javac -version    this will check your compiler version   If this shows incorrect java version but you have installed java 1 8 then you have to set path variable to the newer version of java    To do that do add the line   export JAVA HOME  path to java jdk1 x   to    bash profile  same as  Users username  bash profile   Then do this from the terminal to set the new variable  source    bash profile   Also what s your eclipse ini set to    -Dosgi requiredJavaVersion 1 7   EDIT    Please open up terminal and type    find   -name  java     This should find all folder named java on your file system    Also how did you install java in the first place

OK  so I don t really know what the problem was  but I simply fixed it by navigating to here http   www oracle com technetwork java javase downloads jdk8-downloads-2133151 html and installing 8u74 instead of 8u73 which is what I was prompted to do when I would go to  download latest version  in Java  So changing the versions is what did it in the end  Eclipse launched fine  now  Thanks for everyone s help   edit  Apr 2018- Now is 8u161 and 8u162  Just need one  I used 8u162 and it worked

I have had the same problem as noted above   I could not get Eclipse to install because of Java incompatibilities   The sequence I followed goes like this    Upgraded to MAC OS Sierra Downloaded the Eclipse installer but was prompted that I needed to instal a legacy Java  Installed Java 1 6 Was unable to install Eclipse and was prompted that I needed Java 1 7 or greater   Downloaded and installed Java 1 8 Ran the terminal code  java -version     this will check your jre version  This showed returned Java 1 6 despite the fact that I had upgraded to 1 8   The Java version listed in the Java control panel said 1 8 Tried multiple downloads of eclipse and Java and multiple restarts always with the same result  Visited the Oracle web page noted above  http   www oracle com technetwork java javase downloads jdk8-downloads-2133151 html  I could not find the above reference to 8u73 and 8u74 but I did find and option to download 1 8 0 12   I did this  It installed without difficulty  and then I was able to install Eclipse without difficulty    This took hours of my time   I hope this proves useful
