Ok, so I've been using eclipse Luna for a bit now with the Java 6 and all. Today, I decided it was time to update to Java 7. I did so by going to the Oracle site, downloading the Java 7 run time environment, and it said it would install. I let it install, but it told me that it detected previous versions of java (java 6) that it wanted to uninstall. I don't know a lot about the process and assumed it was fine and this probably isn't the problem anyway. But it installed, and when I tried to run things in eclipse, it gave me an error. So I restarted Eclipse. Suddenly, it wouldn't start giving me the error code 13. Then, I re installed Eclipse Luna. Now I get the same error and am worried I totally screwed up my Java. Can you help? I can also post the error report it gives me.
Java was started but returned exit code=13

If I check my java version via command prompt, it looks like this:
C:\Users\Jared>java -version
java version "1.8.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode)
I have minimal knowledge on this process however, if my educated guess is right, Luna is based on 1.6-1.7 and since I apparently have 1.8.0_31, I need a more updated version.
If you know how to help, please explain thoroughly, so I can understand as much as possible Thanks in advance
