m2eclipse: Eclipse is running in a JRE, but a JDK is required
Unbelievable, the solution to this problem has nothing to do with slashes, backslashes, quotes, spaces, jre, jdk, jvm, javaw, …. The answer is that you have to have a line break between -vm and the path. So in the eclipse.ini file: THIS WILL NOT WORK: -vm C:\java\jdk\bin\javaw.exe BUT THIS WILL: -vm C:\java\jdk\bin\javaw.exe
