6. Running application on OS

No ADS
Click eclipse.exe to run the application.
If you receive an error message "Failed to load the JNI shared libray", which means that the application can not find a place of the JRE or JDK or not valid JRE/JDK version.
In that case you have to declare the JAVA_HOME environment variable on the OS. Or open eclipse.ini to directly configure the Java virtual machine.
Add:
-vm
D:\DevPrograms\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin\javaw.exe
OK now you can run your application.
