Did you install Java 6? Because that's the version you need. Hit 'Install' – Parker Oct 23 '14 at 04:23

Is your `JAVA_HOME` environment set to `jdk installation folder`? And is your `PATH` variable set to `bin` directory? – Aditya Singh Oct 23 '14 at 04:45

This is because you haven't set your environment variables yet.
Open your terminal and type this
vim ~/.bash_profile
You can set your environment variables here.
Press i once the file opens up.
Suppose your jdk installation folder is:
/Library/Java/jdk1.7/
Type this in the file opened in your terminal:
JAVA_HOME="/Library/Java/jdk1.7"
PATH=$PATH:"$JAVA_HOME/bin"

You need to type on the terminal and then press control+c and type `:wq` to save the file. – Aditya Singh Oct 23 '14 at 06:32
