how do you get a jre installed in eclipse/springsource toolsuite?
For some reason, when I go to add a JRE to eclipse/sts and give it the location of the JDK 1.6.0_22, it says:
Target is not a JDK root. System library was not found.
I am giving it this folder, which is accurate and works for everything else: /opt/jdk1.6.0_22
But it is the jdk root. IDEA thinks so. Every other APP on the planet thinks so too. Aside: God, I really hate eclipse. This is why I never use it, because nothing works like it's supposed to. I just want to try Spring Insight out, so that's why I am using STS...
I am on Ubuntu 10.10 if that makes any difference.
Please help. I think I can finally get this to work if I can just get STS/Eclipse to stop being stupid :/
Answer
Are you sure you are pointing to the JDK folder and not the JRE folder ?
You must select the root folder of the JDK installation.
