Hi ,

What is the difference between 'Project specific JRE' and the executed enviromnent JRE' ??

Arun Motoori said...

@Jenny - When you have more than one JREs installed on your machine (i.e. older and latest versions). Eclipse IDE will give you a default version as 'Executed environment JRE'. If you want to work on a different or latest version of JRE for your Java Project to overcome few problems the older versions etc may give, we select the required JRE version using 'Project specific JRE'.
