title: Eclipse on Mac 10.8 - Installed 1.7.0 JRE / JDK, but Eclipse won't launch
body: <ul>
  <li><p>Installed Java SE 1.7.0u10 from Oracle w/ their installer package</p></li>
  <li><p>Downloaded and unpacked Eclipse Juno (4.2.1)</p></li>
  <li><p>Double click Eclipse purple icon and get OS X alert prompt with error message:</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>To open "Eclipse," you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to
    install one now?</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>(in terminal) <code>which java</code> - <code>/usr/bin/java</code></p></li>
  <li><p><code>ls -l /usr/bin/java</code> - <code>/usr/bin/java -&gt; /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java</code></p></li>
  <li><p>(in Finder) Double click eclipse alias (included when unpacked download) - Terminal launches, <code>/Applications/Eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse ; exit ;</code> and Exclipse launches without OS X alert prompt.</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I've tried modifying the Eclipse app bundle plist to point the -vm key to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.frameworks/Versions/Current/Commands/java, but I feel like I probably shouldn't have to do this.`</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to know how to get Eclipse to launch by just double clicking on the Application package. It's such a small thing to bug me... :o)</p>
