Eclipse 3.6.X setup for m2eclipse

I've tried many configurations, but I keep getting the following error upon opening eclipse:

Eclipse is running in a JRE, but a JDK is required

I've tried following the instructions in the following SA questions: 1, 2

The things I tried in the eclise.ini file:

  • Various -vm configurations:
    • -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin
    • -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin\java.exe
    • -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\jre\bin
    • -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\jre\bin\java.exe
  • Various -vm location :
    • as first line
    • as last line
    • just before -vmargs
    • just before showsplash
  • With and without -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion = 1.6

Also, in eclipse\Window\Preferences\Java\Installed JREs I added C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\jre and marked it (and unmarked the default jre6)

What am I missing?
