I have both Net-beans and eclipse IDEs installed in my laptop, But there is a per-devolved system that want lower version of JDK. so I installed net-beans older version too. but then JDK does not support my eclipse version. can I use two JDK in once?? and what should I do for working in both IDE in different versions.
Eclipse / Net beans need JRE to run in first place. If the version of JRE you install is not supported by the version of Eclipse/Netbeans u have, then you have to get a compatible version of Eclipse/Netbeans that match your installed JRE. (Alternatively you can change the JRE version)
Now coming to JDK. You need JDK only to compile you code inside Eclipse/Netbeans. You can have any number of JDKs installed and you can configure 'per project'.
In Eclipse, this is how you configure the JDK for the project
Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add Libraries -> JRE System Library
In the next screen you add the desired JDK from your system , by locating it in the file browser.
P.S : Havent used Netbeans, but sure it is supported

I have downloaded the new eclipse 2022-06 and I wanted to know that what version of Java does it run on. What is the JDK and JRE and how can I create a project to run on Java 7 with a compatible JRE? Where do I select those settings or what do I additionally need to download?
Take a look at the official documentation: Eclipse/Installation
You will find for each version of Eclipse the required JRE/JDK to run it.
Instead, if you are looking for how to run a project with a different JRE/JDK, you can take a look at this guide: How to Change Java Version in an Eclipse Project
I'm trying to deploy the app with a .jsp file, which I figured is the reason I get an error because other projects without .jsp files have no problem.
When I try to deploy the app, I get the error : "Cannot get the System Java Compiler. Please use a JDK, not a JRE"
I tried resolving the problem using Mahmoud's solution here : Google app engine deployment : JDK not JRE
But once I have changed the eclipse.ini file, I launch Eclipse and get this error : "Version 1.7.0_80 of the JVM is not suitable for this product. Version 1.8 or greater is required"
You need to install JDK8 or JRE8 for Eclipse to execute and JDK7 for compile this application to build.
As mentioned in the error, JDK7 is not compatible with Eclipse. So you need to set your system JDK to 8 for Eclipse. Alternatively, you could instead modify the environment variables or startup script for Eclipse to reference JDK8 and avoid making this a system wide change.
Although for security purposes, I do recommend using the latest JDK/JRE as the system one for most cases.
Then within Eclipse, set the project JDK to 7.
Click through the following:
Windows -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JRE
There you can remove the "JRE System Library", then you can add and configure another already installed JRE/JDK for this specific project.
You need the JDK for building which includes a JRE, but for deploying you only need the JRE.
The JDK includes the ability to compile Java source into executable code, where as the JRE can only execute that executable code.
You can download JDK from Oracle's site here: Oracle Java JDK 8
When I click on the design tab I get this error:
Incompatible Java Versions
Eclipse is running under 1.7, but this Java project has a 1.8 Java compliance level, so WindowBuilder will not be able to load classes from this project. Use a lower level of Java for the project, or run Eclipse using a newer Java version.
I've checked in window>preferences that:
>java>compiler is set to 1.8
>java>installed JREs has a 1.8 JDK as the default
Have I missed something?
looks like JAVA_HOME is set to the java 7 one, will this require a restart?
You're actually executing eclipse with Java 7, you can update JAVA_HOME to point to Java 8, and then restart eclipse (not your computer).
I have jre8 installed and set as the default for the jre but under compiler compliance I can't find 1.8 and under execution environment I can't find javaSE 1.8. I'm using the latest build of Eclipse EE.
I took a look at this manual
http://help.eclipse.org/luna/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jdt.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Ftask-add_new_jre.htm
But I couldn't find any .ee files in my jre8 or JDK1.8 installation directories.
Open Preferences and look in 'Java > Installed JREs'. If you don't have a Java 8 shown there click 'Add...' to add it. Close the preferences.
Open Preferences again and look in 'Java > Installed JREs > Execution Environments', select 'JavaSE-1.8' and make sure your Java 1.8 is checked as the Compatible JRE
If the eclipse version is old as #mike stated in his answer then you would be unable to view the JavaSE-1.8 on the Execution Environments list in your eclipse; You can do the following to use it even on older versions:
Help --> Install New Software
Place the following URL --> http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.3-P-builds/
Install the plugins and restart eclipse.
Now if you have JDK 1.8 on your computer and added it as an installed JRE you'd be able to view and use JavaSE-1.8
Or just download and use the latest eclipse
Older versions of Eclipse might not work with javaSE-1.8
You need to find out what version of Eclipse you have by going into its help menu and clicking on About Eclipse.
If your version is older than the one at https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
then you need to uninstall your older version and install the latest version.
I had the same problem with my Eclipse on Linux Mint. And the only way I could solve it was by following above instructions.
I have two jre in my PC which is running windows 7. When I am running a eclipse project I dont know which version of jre it is calling, so I searched on net for the solution and tried this two things:
In cmd typed java --version and it showed me 1.6.
In control panel, I went it in java control panel and selected java and it showed me 1.7 enabled.
Now, I am confused and how can I change the jre of the system? I want my eclipse project which is running on tomcat to use a specific jre. But I dont know which jre my system is using.
Thanks in advance.
You may check Windows->Preferences->Java->installed to check default JRE that it runs things under.
You may also check property eclipse.vm under the Help->About Eclipse->Installation Details->Configuration.
choose window preferences in eclipse. Select installed jre and add a jre and select an jre you are going to use.
java -version is what a java app on the system will use by default. What IE uses is determined by the extension (Tools->Manage add-ons) you can see the java plugin there.
You can register any jre vesion you want in eclipse using the window->preferences-> installed JRE's
If you are using eclipse, you can set the Java version by going to project->properties->java build path->select the jre version and click on edit.
You can choose the version that you want. Whichever JRE library is displayed in the build path is the version that eclipse is using to compile your code.
