It should be a JDK that you can compile your code with it. Deploy the chosen JDK into above folder path.“ C:\Programs\companyName\DevEnv” will be used as example here.
It will be better to keep JDK and Eclipse at same folder.
MOST COMMON IDE FOR R INSTALL
Choose a path which all developers will install Eclipse and JDK to it. Rest of this post will describe a process for preparing eclipse as a common shared IDE shared by a developing team. It will help developers to keep standards high. It is possible to define the same set of preferences for IDE and same code formatting’s policy. They will see the same set of warnings and errors by using the same compiler version and can have the same policy toward them. All developers will be familiar with common problems caused by version incompatibility and can help each other. Using the same version of IDE, libraries and the programming language leads to better standards and code quality. The new developers will be able to gain insight into the code directly and they don’t need to face the configuration problems while preparing an IDE. With other words: don’t lose time to fix it, start it over instead. By creating a deployable common IDE it is possible to minimize the cost by reinstalling the IDE when something is going wrong after a while. Minimizing the configuration cost: Configuring an IDE for an average or big project is a time and resource consuming process. Every efficient software development team should have a common easy deployable IDE which can be installed and reinstalled in a simple way.
