JVM eclipse runs on

eclipse will run on -vm option defined in eclipse.ini.

1) If -vm is not defined in eclipse.ini, eclipse will look for a JRE

• either directly under its installation directory (<eclipse>\jre): if you copy the content of any installed JRE in that sub-directory, it will be selected
• in C:\Program Files\Java\JRE....
• in the %PATH% (see above)

2) Or one can specify the VM you want eclipse to run on:

 -vm
 C:\Java\JDK\1.6\bin\javaw.exe
