Answer 1

Accept the License Agreement for downloading and instal JDK 1.8 (Windows x64 for 64 bit & Windows x86 for 32 bit) and you should be fine.

Make sure you update your Path and add JAVA_HOME variable with path to JDK and its bin so that eclipse and all other software can find installed java.

Just download the one of the jdk which shows in the link, JDK1.8 is preferable, I think after installing jdk it will not give same error, and it doesn't matter which version of Java you have installed, just install jdk 1.8
