I've got a question concerning installing Eclipse on machos 10.11.13. When I'm trying to install, I get a default saying that "Version 1.6.0_65 of the JVM is not suitable for this product. Version 1.7 or greater is required". but the problem is that I've got the newest version on Java installed on my laptop (version 1.8_077). I read that version 1.6 is Apple version of java and it cannot by uninstalled, so I'm stuck with no clue, I've already uninstalled java and installed in again using console, but nothing is working. Also I;ve put this "-vm /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_77.jdk/Contents/Home/bin" in the code of eclipse-instal.ini but it's still not working what should I do?????

    `-vm` should be followed by the actual VM binary's location, usually named `java`. The `bin` directory is not enough. – nitind Apr 06 '16 at 18:27
  • that's the content of eclipse.ini file, without my added line -startup ../Eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.100.v20150511-1540.jar --launcher.library ../Eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.1.300.v20150602-1417 --launcher.appendVmargs --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256M -name Eclipse Installer -data -vmargs -Xms256M -Xmx1024M -XstartOnFirstThread -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts @greg-449 – Sophiexxx Apr 10 '16 at 12:35
