  • Continued setting up win machine
  • Receiving weird error message in Eclipse: “The Maven Integration requires that Eclipse be running in a JDK, because a number of Maven core plugins are using jars from the JDK. Please make sure the -vm option in eclipse.ini is pointing to a JDK and verify that Installed JRE’s are also using JDK installs.” Then in the console window I’m told “Eclipse is running on a JRE but a JDK is required.” And I know for certain that the latest JDK is installed and set in the path.
  • One solution is to add a -vm argument to the Eclipse.ini file. That didn’t make a difference.
  • Another solution was to be sure Maven is not set up under C:Program Files b/c the space between ‘program’ and ‘files’ can cause an issue with Eclipse on windows. Next step is to remove all of the sw for the dev. environment from “Program Files” and place within a non-spaced directory.
