Eclipse: The specified JRE installation does not exist

In eclipse click Window –> Show view –> Servers

Once you are in servers view double click configured server to open its configuration and click Runtime environment link (in the left side).

Select the JRE and click finish.

Hope it help you


I had the same problem. This is how I fixed it.

  1. Open Eclipse.
  2. Go to Preferences.
  3. Click Add
  4. A Window should popup with this:

  1. Select Standard VM.
  2. Select Directory
  3. Use this path: Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/
  4. Click Open
  5. Then Finish
  6. Right click your Project then click Properties
  7. Select Java Build Path then click Add Library
  8. Select JRE System Library

  1. Click Environments and select the jdk1.7.0_45
  2. Finish

This is what you should see if you did it right:
