m2eclipse: Eclipse is running in a JRE, but a JDK is required

December 9, 2009

After a while I sat to one of my old projects again… web-based JEE system to manage requirements of the projects, with maven as a system to manage this project’s dependencies. I work on eclipse, so I wanted to install plugin m2eclipse. However at the end of the installation, after restart of eclipse, I have an error: “The Maven Integration requires that Eclipse be running in a JDK, because a number of Maven core plugins are using jars from the JDK. (…)”. How to solve it?
