GNOME 3 - can't start eclipse no "java" in PATH

Question

I recently downloaded eclipse Kepler and JDK 1.7 to my Debian-machine and setup eclipse to be in

/usr/local/bin/eclipse

and the JDK to

/usr/share/

When I work in terminal, I can start it just fine. Now, I wanted to add a link to GNOME 3 applications menu. So I cat one of the files, and changed it accordingly. When I click on the icon in the applications-menu I am displayed with

"either a JDK or JRE must be present in eclipse/jre. java was not found in PATH".

Can I go around putting the JRE into the folder? How can I adjust the PATH when I use the applications-menu?

Answer 1

Add your eclipse.ini file:

--launcher.GTK_version
