I got eclipse from school, and got it running fine on my desktop computer.
After getting it exactly the same way and attempting to install it on my
laptop, however, I keep getting the error message that:
"A Java Runtime Environment (JRE)or Java Development Kit (JDK)
must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine
was found after searching the following locations:
C:\Program Files\eclipse\jre\bin\javaw.exe
'javaw.exe' in your current PATH".
Just to make sure, I downloaded the JRE and installed it, but still
recieved the same error message.

Hi,
In addition to adding the java/bin folder to your path, you should also
configure the JREs that eclipse can use.
To configure the JREs installed for eclipse, follow:
Eclipse->Window->Preferences
Java->Installed JREs
Click on Add and select the folder where your JRE is installed.
Regards,
Subhash Bhushan.

Okay, thanks for your help, but I'm gonna need a bit more.
Firstly, the answer given by Hendrik would be great, but considering that
the only 'command line' I know of is just the command prompt (which
doesn't work, I haven't had much success.
Subhash's answer was a lot easier to follow, except that I can't find
where it was telling me to go. Keep in mind that I cannot even RUN
eclipse. All I've got are the files that come with it.
And yes, I am aware that doesn't make me look like the most intelligent
guy in the world, but hey, that's why I'm on the newcomers board.

If the command prompt does not work, then you have a serious problem.
Ask help on a windows forum. Otherwise, indeed I meant the command
prompt. I'm on a Linux right now, so I can't check the syntax, but
IIRC, you just have to type
PATH [location of java]\bin;%PATH
But as I am not sure and this might mess up your system, I recommend you
to type help PATH or PATH -h or PATH /h or anything that gives you the
usage message.
Here, [location of java] probably is something like C:\Program
Files\java\jdk1.5\jre

If you installed the JRE under Windows, then Eclipse will find it. So
something else must be going on.
In any case, what you really want to do is install a JDK, not just a JRE
(unless you don't intend to use Eclipse as a Java development IDE).
Once you've done that, you'll want to point the eclipse.exe to a
specific location to ensure it will use the JDK installation.
See this Wiki page for info on how to do that:

When I said "under Windows" I meant in the Windows operating system (as
opposed to Linux or Mac OS/X), not in the WINDOWS directory.
If you don't know where/how to get the JDK, then I think you need to do
some more learning about Java development - Eclipse is not your problem
at that stage.
HTH,
Eric
