eclipse -vm %JAVA_HOME% in eclipse.ini fails

I downloaded eclipse adt and there is no jre in eclipse folder.

So I created on Windows 8 a JAVA_HOM environement variable pointing to my JDK path and added this line to eclipse.ini

-vm %JAVA_HOME%/bin/javaw.exe

but eclipse still looks for jre in its sub directory.

You cannot use environment variables in the eclipse.ini (Eclipse bug 102239), you must specify the actual full path.

You must also put -vm and the path on separate lines.

If there is a -vmargs entry in the eclipse.ini the -vm must come before that.
