title: How do I change my Eclipse IDE's launch JVM?
body: <p>I'm running Eclipse Oxygen (1A) on my Mac and I can see in the "Installation Details" that the JVM currently being used by the IDE itself (to actually launch the JVM) is Oracle's <code>1.8.0_131</code> JVM. I have a few other JVMs installed including the latest release <code>1.8.0_161</code> and I'd like to switch to the latest.</p>
  
  <p>Just to be clear: I'm not trying to set the execution environment which is used when compiling and/or launching code <em>for a particular project</em>. I'm trying to change the JVM which is used when launching Eclipse itself.</p>
  
  <p>So far, I've made sure that Eclipse is aware of my updated JRE and that it is indeed the default "Installed JRE", but restarting Eclipse ends up using the same, old, JVM (1.8.0_131).</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to tell Eclipse that I'd like to use an updated JVM without editing the Eclipse launch scripts directly? (I'm assuming I could do that if I wanted to, but I'd prefer not to do so.)</p>
