http preview starts the wrong jdk (and then aborts) [message #1740660]

I'm running the latest Eclipse-Neon on a Mac running El Capitan. I have installed the latest JDK (1.8.x) and have relinked the /Library/Java/Home link to point to the 1.8 jdk rather than the 1.6 that is installed by default.

When I try to run an html file with HTTP Preview, it uses 1.6 to run, and since this version of eclipse wants a higher version, it aborts.

How do I configure Eclipse to launch preview with 1.8?

Sean,

I'm not sure what HTTP Preview is, but if there are launchers involved,
Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs lets you configure which
JREs are available for compiling and launching. Does that help?
