Answer 1

I figured out the solution to this problem in eclipse.

In Eclipse,

Navigate to Window -> Preferences

On the left hand pane, expand Java and you will find the "Installed JREs" entry

Select that and you should be able to see the JRE entry that is referring to the JRE folder rather than the JDK folder.

Select the entry to edit it and then redirect it to the JDK folder and click on Apply.

This solved my problem right away.
