How do I run Eclipse using Oracle's new 1.7 JDK for the Mac?

Question

I\'m trying to get the new 1.7 JDK working with Eclipse (this is Oracle\'s official release).

I don\'t mean just pointing Eclipse to it so you can use it in projects

Answer 1

After installing Oracle JRE and JDK, open Info.plist inside Eclipse.app(right click, show contents) and paste after "Eclipse" "-vm/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/JavaVM"

Mine looks like this:

    Eclipse
    
        -vm/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/JavaVM
        -keyring~/.eclipse_keyring
        -showlocation
    

If you do that, you will not have to update the file after upgrading JRE.
