Yes.

a friend told me that I have to force eclipse to use the SDK instead of
JRE in order to be able to use the content assist and other feature.
if this is true, would you mind telling me how to force eclipse to use SDK ?
something like : eclipse -vm D:\SDK\bin\javaw.exe ??
The "-vm" command line argument for the Eclipse executable just specifies which JRE to use for running Eclipse itself.
You should instead go to "Window > Preferences >
Java > Installed JREs" and add your SDK(s) there.

thanks.
How much of that 192MB is free when you're running everything you will be running aside Eclipse? I'd suggest using about half of the free memory for Eclipse.
