[nfbcs] Java and Eclipse Problem

[Nicole Torcolini]

Have you tried updating where your java installation is in the Eclipse
settings? Sometimes, Eclipse can find the java installation on its own and
other times you have to give it the path. Also, you should not need to do
anything outside of Eclipse to run your java programs; all of that can be
done inside of Eclipse. Let me know if you need to know the exact place in
Eclipse to find the setting. Finally, what version of Eclipse are you using?

Subject: [nfbcs] Java and Eclipse Problem

Hello,

I recently downloaded Java version 1.7 update 11 and Eclipse for a
programming class I just started. At first, everything worked out ok; I
could use Eclipse to generate basic java programs. Then I tried using the
windows command line to run java scripts. I ran into a problem with the
command line not recognizing javac, so I followed the following online
instructions to try and fix this:
1. Go to control pannel
2. click system and advanced system settings 3. go to environment variables
4. go to system variables 5. prepend certain directory to path

The problem is that this did not help with the command line and it also
caused Eclipse to stop recognizing java. When I try to use eclipse now, I
get a message saying that java is needed and that eclipse cannot find it in
a given directory. I've tried uninstalling both eclipse and java and
reinstalling and have tried messing with directories and paths. 

Does anyone have any idea what I can do to restore the path that allowed
eclipse and java to work together?

Thanks,

Kevin
