91 Pointseclipse not launching
i can not add the plug in ( intellij) to eclipse per explanation at oracle site . before i start on that though i have a different issue , which is that i can not open eclipse , i moved my sdk package to make a shorter path as i was having buffer overflow problems trying to open android studio. after much ado i finally have studio up and running however no sooner than i resolved that another problem came to the funeral, that being eclipse will not open , suspicious that i have a path wrong in my ecilpse configuration settings folder this is the text openFile -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51\bin\javac.exe
also my java icon in control panel will not launch , may be a connection ,not sure

Treehouse TeacherSorry, I'm a bit confused as to which version you are trying to open. Where did you download Eclipse from? Is it the Treehouse bundle, the one from the Android developer site, or an existing installation that you're trying to configure on your own?

I´ve downloaded mine from the Android developer site and when i try to open Eclipse it tells me "No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations...(where i have the bundle unzipped).
I´m using Windows 8.1
Cheers
UPDATE: Tried copying Java folder to the adt bundle but still, didnt work

Treehouse TeacherOur Treehouse bundles include an installation of the Java JDK, which is required for Android development. The bundle from the developer site doesn't, so you need to install Java yourself.
I'd recommend version 7u55 (JDK) from this site: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html?ssSourceSiteId=otnjp. Java 8 isn't officially supported for Android development yet.
Or if you want you could try our bundle from this page: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-android-app/getting-started-with-android/android-setup-and-the-crystal-ball-project-2
