Failed to load the JNI shared Library (JDK)

Question

When I try opening Eclipse, a pop-up dialog states:

Failed to load the JNI shared library \"C:/JDK/bin/client/jvm.dll\"`.

Another option is:

Create a shortcut to the Eclipse.exe. Open the shortcut and change the target to:

"C:\Program Files\eclipse\eclipse.exe" -vm "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_04\bin\javaw.exe"

For your installation, make sure the locations point to the correct Eclipse installation directory and the correct javaw.exe installation directory.

(The 64/32 bit versions of Eclipse and Java need to be the same, of course.)
