Add to documentation that JDK is required #21

If I'm not wrong, Eclipse should be run with a JDK and not a JRE. It should be stated in documentation.

Even if I agree with this statement, I don't understand the link with JSweet? Could you enlighten me @pascalheraud please?

pascalheraud commented 6 years ago

Eclipse does not need to be run with a JDK, a simple JRE is enough. If you run Eclipse with a JRE, Jsweet is not working, I think it needs the java compiler.

lgrignon commented 6 years ago

I see your point, but JSweet requires the JDK to work, because it depends on tools.jar AFAIR.

Let me rename your issue please.

I think we should have some kind of pretty warning but we will definitively not make JSweet work with a JRE.

pascalheraud commented 6 years ago

Yes a warning in installation instructions would be great :) I lost an hour looking for the reason it was not working.

Hehe, @renaudpawlak I was about to rename but I realize I don't have administration rights on this repo. Could you please grant me?
