Problem running Eclipse Code

Thou due to Eclipse using JREs, it does not look at the system variable JAVA_HOME so you still need to set the location of the JDK in the preferences of Eclipse if you want to compile the code for the bot in Eclipse using Java

Eclipse DOES look at JAVA_HOME; we had this same issue in the past, fixed our home variable, and everything has worked fine since.

Then that is strange since for our team that did not work and as a reason I have been shown this site https://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_run_Eclipse%3F
which states "Eclipse DOES NOT consult the JAVA_HOME environment variable."

The error message itself shows that the build failed and suggested the JAVA_HOME variable may need to be corrected. *shrug*

Yes since Eclipse has its own path for JAVA_HOME and that is located in the preferences

Not entirely correct, since we fixed our problem by correcting our actual JAVA_HOME variable. Anyways, I think we've debated this enough I'm outta here.

Sorry I have just installed Eclipse on a new computer and found out that both methods work so go with with what ever you find the best
