title: How to install Birt report designer in Eclipse 3.7.1
body: <p>I'm trying to follow a guide on installing specific report designer tool according to <a href="http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21605970&amp;aid=1" rel="nofollow">report development guide</a></p>
  
  <p>I already finished most part, but just 1 thing doesn't succeed.</p>
  
  <p>According to page 18 I need to change the target to</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\birt371\eclipse\eclipse.exe -vm “C:\Program Files\IBM\Java60\jre\bin\java.exe” –vmargs –Xmx512m
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but because my jre is installed in</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_71\bin\java.exe
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I changed it to</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\birt371\eclipse\eclipse.exe -vm “C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_71\bin\java.exe” –vmargs –Xmx512m 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This gives me an error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>a java runtime environment (JRE) or Java Development kit (JDK) must be
    available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine was found
    after searching the following locations "C:\Program</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>If I leave out the target</p>
  
  <pre><code>-vm “C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_71\bin\java.exe” –vmargs –Xmx512m
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>so my target becomes</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\birt371\eclipse\eclipse.exe
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Eclipse starts up normally, no errors.</p>
  
  <p>The problem:</p>
  
  <p>I can't import my reports and I'm wondering if this last peace of configuration has something to do with it.</p>
  
  <p>The question:</p>
  
  <p><strong>How can I use the configuration required?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Notes:
  With the previous java versions there wasn't a security in java (control panel), could my problem have something to do with that?</p>
