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

This solved for me in few clicks. GoTo Eclipse - > Preference - > Java - > Installed JRE - > Add button - > Standard VM and refer the JRE Home path to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_55.jdk/Contents/Home and add custom name. After the JRE path is given the required Jar files will be automatically added and click finish. Please make sure jdk is already installed.
