Answer 1

I just had the same problem and I was able to fix it. I had installed Eclipse for PHP (PDT) because I couldn't get PDT to work with Eclipse classic. I then found out that with the new install, Java files won't run! But there's a simple solution:

Go to Help->Install New Software...

Select:

Galileo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo

Under Programming Languages choose:

Eclipse Java Development Tools 3.5.1.r351_v20090810-0600-7r88FEoFI0WTo6Az-1qFRHm37ChJ

Install and you'll find your JREs!

Answer 2

I'm not sure what exactly your question is...

If you want to know where the JVM/JDK resides on Mac OS X, the various versions can be found in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions. Just add one of these to Eclipse.

Answer 3

Eclipse Mars

Eclipse Market Place -> Type "Java" and install "Java 8 support for Eclipse Kepler SR2"
