you need to start eclipse with -vm option and point it to the jdk. For example I installed jdk6 in C:jdk6 so when I start eclipse I start it with a command line of:

eclipse -vm C:jdk6in

This instructs eclipse to use the JDK vs the built in jre that eclipse ships with.

I don't know what the problem is. The error message says that a JDK is needed. Download the JDK and install it.
