Sara:
You can always set the explicit path to a certain JDK through eclipse's
command line switch "vm" (virtual machine). If you have a specific JDK
installed in "C:\My Stuff\My Sun JDK", you can specify this by starting
eclipse with:
eclipse -vm C:/My Stuff/My Sun JDK
If you're using Windows, you'd probably want to create a shortcut, and
append the VM command switch in the "Target:" field ("Shortcut" tab).
But I must say, I'm almost sure that if you install a JDK as usual, Eclipse
is going to detect your JDK with no problems. Why do you need to set the
path explicitly?
P.S.: I do indeed use this, but to run ecipse on my pen drive, using a JDK I
installed on my pen drive to. This way I can run / compile / develop my Java
projects with Eclipse on any computer, having admin privileges or not :)
