Maybe the first line is a clue, JDK required   >> Eclipse is running in a JRE, but a JDK is required

JDK available here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

do i select the jdk or the jre.you see i have maven plugin installed in eclipse.after this i started getting this message. that link you provided is helpful.but i am not sure about jdl/jre
forget the jre in settings. just try the eclipse.ini
what is your line to jvm.dll?

eg look for something like this. if u find it verify the path
-vm
C:\JavaJDK\Java\jdk1.6.0_01\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
