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

Just edit

Eclipse.app/Contents/Info.plist

You have to use a specific Java version (instead of the platform's default) uncomment one of the following options:

-vm
/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java

This helped me rollback from 1.7.0 to 1.6.0.
