<h3>Eclipse</h3>
<p>You will need a <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html">Java Runtime Environment (JRE)</a> to use Eclipse (<a href="https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Installation#Install_a_JVM">Install a JVM</a>).</p>
<p>If Eclipse fails to start see <a href="https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Installation#Troubleshooting">Installation#Troubleshooting</a> and if you want to specify the used JVM manually, see <a href="https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini">Eclipse.ini</a>.
