I just installed Java 1.6 on my OSX and everything works brilliantly, except that Eclipse refuses to start. It puts up a huge prompt from which I can't copy/paste, but it's clearly stating that it wants to be using Java 1.5 and can't find it anymore.
I don't see anything in its configuration files about which version of Java it should be looking for. Has anyone dealt with this?
Thanks in advance.
on /Applications/Eclipse/Eclipse.app right click and choose "Show Package Contents" open Contents/Info.plist with a text editor NOT plist editor
add
<string>-vm</string>
<string>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Commands/java</string>
to
<key>Eclipse</key>
<array>
<!-- add it here -->
</array>
save it and restart.
