I want to set java path to a specified java directory in eclipse, not the default installed java path. I want to run eclipse by using java from my specified path. But all the time eclipse runs by using the default installed java path. I have specified the Path in the "eclipse.ini" file but this path is not used by eclipse to run.. Please hep me... This is my "eclipse.ini" file

-startup

plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20120522-1813.jar

--launcher.library

plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_1.1.200.v20120913-144807

-product

com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.package.adtproduct

-showsplash

org.eclipse.platform

--launcher.XXMaxPermSize

256m

--launcher.defaultAction

@Bibin Jose I think you're confused, The eclipse.ini is a file where the eclipse configuration to start is. In "Windows>>preference>>java>>installed JRE" is where you can set which JRE you want to compile you project. You can add a lot of JRE in preference. If you want, click in "Add" button, choice "Standar VM" and click in next button, finally set the path where your other jdk is installed.
