The important part is that your java jdk for compiling your code is 1.8 since you're on 7.6.1. Different Eclipse versions will require newer JDKs depending on which version you go to but you can always compile your code with a different Java JDK than what you use to run Eclipse. Eclipse Neon supports 1.8 though so you can use the same JDK for running Eclipse and compiling your code. 

Hello  Steven,

Thanks for your reply.

Can you recommend where best to download Eclipse?  seems like there are multiple places.  Thank you

@Danny Richardson I always download from eclipse.org. Even on the legacy releases like 4.6 it's still available on their site if you know how to get to it (though being as old as it is, it's not displayed on their main downloads page).
