How to Fix the Maven Integration Requires That Eclipse Be Running in Jdk

"The Maven Integration requires that Eclipse be running in JDK, because a number of Maven core plugins are using jars from the JDK.

Please make sure the -vm option in eclipse.ini is pointing to a JDK and vefify that Installed JREs are also using JDK installs".

If you happento encounter the error above, simply go to your eclipse installation. Open eclipse.ini and add the following line:

-vm
C:/YOUR_JDK_INSTALLATION_DIR/bin/javaw.exe

Take note the value is in the newline, if you will notice eclipse.ini accepts parameter on the second line. See the rest of the ini. Mine is:

-vm
C:/jdk1.5.0_22/bin/javaw.exe
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.1.R36x_v20100810
