I want to use the JRE 1.7 that I downloaded from Oracle website.
So I correctly install the .pkg file, and when I try /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java -version in the terminal I get this :
java version "1.7.0_11" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_11-b21) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.6-b04, mixed mode)
But in Eclipse I can't use anything else than JRE 1.6. When I go in Properties > Java Build Path > Add Library > JRE System Library, I can't find the 1.7 (there is only option for it : JavaSE-1.7 (unbound) with this issue :
No JREs in workspace compatible with specified execution environment: JavaSE-1.7
What should I do ? Thanks

Operating system requirements: For Java 7 and later versions, you will need an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X version 10.7. 3 (Lion) and above. Installing Java on a Mac is performed on a system wide basis, for all users, and administrator privileges are required. Java can not be installed on a per-user basis.
Eclipse is a Java-based application and, as such, requires a Java Runtime Environment or Java Development Kit (JRE or JDK) in order to run. Note that on recent versions of Mac, a full JDK needs to be installed, not just a JRE; see instructions below.
The download from java.com which installs in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins is only the JRE, for development you probably want to download the JDK from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html and install that instead. This will install the JDK at /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_<something>.jdk/Contents/Home which you can then add to Eclipse via Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs.
