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
