I'm trying to launch a server on my tomcat 7 on my eclipse indigo EE
and I get the following error:

"'starting Tomcat v7.0 server at localhost' has encountered a problem.
The specified JRE installation does not exist"

I checked the build path configuration and on the libraries section I have the
JDK7 as JRE System Libraray and when I check "Installed JREs..." the correct
path is there - "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_01".

What else can be done? Many thanks.

p.s. - I'm also using maven 3.0.3

Double click on the server to bring up the Overview.

Click on Runtime Environment.

Select the JRE from the dropdown list. You may need to set this up by clicking on Installed JREs and clicking Add.
