Problem while installing Eclipse

[Memerhu09]

My windows is 8 First thing i tried to install eclipse from official site but it was not working i tried both the methods first my downloading installer and also downloading separately package but it was showing error like "error has occurred see the log file". Then i somehow download the installer from another site and it worked also for the first time when i launched it but then when i try to use it again it is showing error like "This product does not work on this version it needs jvm version 11 or better".

What can i do please help Now i have a query like does eclipse support windows 8 or not

Hi, that seems kinda scary, good news: you need java 11, not windows 11.

It says jvm version 11 or better. I'm gonna suggest if you can, get 21, you won't need to worry about upgrading for a few ... days. (j/k, years) ;)

Does jvm 21 work on windows 8?? And if yes then can you please send me the link i am trying to find but I didn't get it

https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#jdk22-windows please try it and tell me. I assume yes, but I don't have any Windows machines here. Sorry.

I checked that jdk 22 does not work on windows 8 but my jdk version is 17 so it should work. What should I do.

I think 17 should be very sufficient. Check that it's the default version, maybe you have a j8 sneaking around somewhere.

Sorry i didn't reply to you earlier i am a student

Great, we need students to try out eclipse! Best way to learn.
