Eclipse not working in windows 8

I recently upgraded to windows 8 ( which apparently is a really bad decision and waste of $40) and eclipse doesn't start. I downloaded Juno but the result is still the same. Appreciate if anyone could help me with it.

eclipse.buildId=M20120914-1800
java.version=1.6.0_23
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86_64, WS=win32, NL=en_US
Framework arguments:  -product org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product
Command-line arguments:  -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86_64 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product

!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2012-11-20 20:42:45.300

Try to update Windows to 8.1.

I am Windows 8.1 64 bit user. My JDK is also for 64 bit. At first I used eclipse Kepler on my 8.1. But the eclipse often become not responding when I worked on. After that, I decide to back to eclipse Juno and it works fine now.

Make sure you have JAVA_HOME and JRE environments set. Also it helps to have x64-bit JRE installed, if you are on a 64-bit OS and have the 64-bit Eclipse installed. http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_win64bit.xml

I ran a few similar issues on my two Windows 8 builds and was able resolve with those. Good luck.
