If you intend to use Eclipse for Java development, then you should install a JDK. If you aren't planning to use Eclipse for Java development and want to save some disk space, install a JRE. • If you're using Windows, you may already have a JRE installed, but upgrading usually won't hurt. • If you're using Mac, and you don't have a JDK installed, you may get a bogus message from the OS stating that you should 'install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime'. Installing that will not solve the problem, because recent versions of Eclipse require a higher version. If you install just a JRE, and not a full JDK, that error message will persist.

We recommend that you use a more robust decompression utility such as the open source when decompressing an Eclipse download.
