Right after upgrading to Mac OS Yosemite (10.10), my Eclipse won't start anymore. Instead I get

The JVM shared library /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_05.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/../jre/lib/server/libjvm.dylib" does not contain the JNI_CreateJavaVM symbol.

I checked java -version and get

java version "1.8.0_05"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_05-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.5-b02, mixed mode)

I search and have found one similar problem Reinstalling Java 7 JDK on OSX. It is suggesting a reinstallation of Java. I am not sure if my problem falls into the same category as his. So, is reinstallation a good way to solve the problem? Any other advice? Thanks!
