Adding a new JRE definition

In your workspace you can have any number of JRE definitions. You can also add as many JRE definitions as you want.

To add a new JRE definition:

Open the Java > Installed JREs preference page.
Select the Add... button. The Create JRE dialog opens.
In the JRE type field, select the type of JRE you want to add from the drop-down list.
In the JRE name field, type a name for the new JRE definition. All JREs of the same type must have a unique name.
In the JRE home directory field, click Home Directory to select a path to the root directory of a JRE installation (usually the directory containing the bin and lib directories for the JRE). Or, click Definition File to select a file describing an installed JRE (for example, an execution environment definition file). You may also type a folder or file name into this field.
The default libraries appear for the JRE in the JRE system libraries list. You can modify the libraries as desired.
- Source and javadoc locations can be specified for the referenced JARs. The Javadoc location is used by the Javadoc export wizard as a default value and by the 'Open External Javadoc' action.
- Jars can be added, removed, and reordered.
Click OK when you are done.
