Setting Up SAP JVM in Eclipse IDE: JRE name is already in use

[former_member190849]

In documentation "Setting Up SAP JVM in Eclipse IDE" (https://help.hana.ondemand.com/help/frameset.htm?7613eaad711e1014839a8273b0e91070.html) a definition for a JRE must be added, although in step before that one a JRE has been created.

If one tries to really add another definition and chooses the directory C:\...\sapjvm-7.1.018-windows-x64\sapjvm_7, then the message comes up: "The JRE name is already in use".

Was the wrong directory choosen, is this action really needed, what please has to be done at this point during Getting Started?

The directory is correct. However, if you have already started Eclipse with that JRE, it is automatically added to the list of Installed JREs. Hence the "name already in use" message when you try to add it again manually. In short, you can safely skip this step now.
