Eclipse. I tried installing jAVA 6 nut the same error arises..
<br>
Do you have in mind something else for helping me?
<br>
Thank you very much for your assistance

<font face="DejaVu Sans Mono">You installed Java 6, and still says
"you must install Java 6"?! <br>
Did you use "Apple's package installer" to install Java 6? Or,
just unzip it somewhere? <br>
<br>
The "key" is if it shows up, when you run<br>
/usr/libexec/java_home -verbose<br>
<br>
When I run that, I get the following (but, not typical to have so
many): <br>
<br>
Matching Java Virtual Machines (6):<br>
1.8.0_20, x86_64: "Java SE 8"
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_20.jdk/Contents/Home<br>
1.7.0_67, x86_64: "Java SE 7"
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_67.jdk/Contents/Home<br>
1.7.0_45, x86_64: "Java SE 7"
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home<br>
1.7.0_25, x86_64: "Java SE 7"
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home<br>
1.6.0_65-b14-466.1, x86_64: "Java SE 6"
/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home<br>
1.6.0_65-b14-466.1, i386: "Java SE 6"
/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home<br>
<br>
If Java 6 does not show up on this list, then you "didn't install
it right" (from Apple's OS point of view). <br>
If it does show up on this list ... then, I'm pretty much at a
loss! <br>
<br>
First, be sure to try executing from the command line (not Finder,
or Dock). <br>
And, by that I meant running "eclipse" which is a symbolic link
... in what ever folder you downloaded it to. <br>
Second, you might try some of the workarounds mentioned in bug
419092. <br>
I don't think they "work for everyone", but they did apparently
for some. <br>
In particular see <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=419092#c17">https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=419092#c17</a><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=419092#c29">https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=419092#c29</a><br>
<br>
The first was just to delete and reinstall Java 7 ... the other
had some stuff related to editing plist.info (which may cause
other issues). <br>
<br>
Another thing I should have clarified first ... when you "install
Java 6" you are not "just using the web browser version", are you?
<br>
If so, that's not the one you want. You want the one that comes in
a "dmg" file, probably "JDK" best to use. <br>
In fact, the one time I did it, I think I did it simply by using
the dialog that pops up saying "you must have Java 6 installed". <br>
I think it had a button that said "install now" that I clicked.
And, that seemed to work. After it was done, I could then run it,
<br>
without any messages, and Java 7 was used (at the time, the hight
version I had installed). <br>
<br>
If you want to go to the trouble, you might be more specific about
exactly what you downloaded (give URL). <br>
And, you might look in the plist.info file of what you downloaded
and see what is says for </font><br>
<pre class="bz_comment_text" id="comment_text_32">CFBundleIdentifier</pre>
<font face="DejaVu Sans Mono">I think the only thing that causes
this problem is if it says "org.eclipse.eclipse" (lower case,
instead of <br>
"org.eclipse.Eclipse"). If it does have lower case, then "where
you got it from" is important for us to know. <br>
If is has upper case, then I've no idea why you'd see this
problem. (Unless, there's some "hidden caching" the operating
system is doing). <br>
