Installing Eclipse Indigo SR1 on my OS X Mountain Lion [message #1006070] Tue, 29 January 2013 12:27 Go to previous message

Hello fellow Coders,

I'm new to the Eclipse Community and I'm new to programming. I'm looking to teach myself Java programming, and wanted to start off with the latest Java (Version 7). However, I delete the previous version (Version 6) and downloaded the new Eclipse Indigo SR1, that's stated to support Java 7. Still, after the packages are downloaded and I try to install it the softwares asks me to re-insteall Java 6.

Is there anyway to install Eclipse Indigo SR1 while only having Java 7 on Mountain Lion ? I'm confused. If Eclipse Indigo SR1 fully supports Java 7, why does it requires Java 6. Isn't it less secure, as all those security updates were recently issued by Oracle.

What's going on here ? Can anyone help me solve this issue ?

Thanks a million.

- Frederick
