wrong software i.e. the Eclipse IDE and the JDK are incompatible.
An Example can be that the JDK was downloaded for 64 bit machine and Eclipse for a 32 bit
machine or Vice versa or both could not be downloaded for the targeted machine.

Eclipse and JDK for the Target Machine (64 bit or 32 bit) and follow the steps as mentioned
