====== JAVA JDK 13 ======
The standard Java 8 JRE installation causes frequent blu-screens on my development machine. Sometimes after minutes, sometimes after several hours. I therefore decided to install the Java JDK 13, with which Eclipse 2019-12 is compatible with.
===== Installation =====
* Download and install [[https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk13-downloads-5672538.html|Java JDK 13]]
* Now open the Command Prompt to confirm the (previous) Java version:java -version
* Right Click -> My Computer(This PC) -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings. Click on //Environment Variables//, select //Path// under System Variables section and click Edit.
* Remove the path of previously installed JDK. Also, update JAVA_HOME in case it's already set. Now click on New Button and add the path to installed JDK. On Windows 10 64 bit this should be something like:C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-13.0.2\bin
* Open the Command Prompt again to confirm:java -version
