I have just updated my OS X system to Java 7. I get Java 7 as the java version from the command line: contrext01:DITA-OT ekimber$ java -version java version "1.7.0_65" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_65-b17) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode) And I was able to configure Eclipse to use the Java 7 runtime. However, Oxygen is still using the Java 6 JRE and I can't see how to change it. The instructions in the help that specify using the Java Preferences utility are out of date as that utility is no longer provided by Apple and the Oracle Java preferences doesn't show anything except the Java 7 runtime. If I look at the system properties in the About Oxygen all the java-related properties reflect Java 6, not Java 7, but I don't see any place that these are actually being set (not in my .bashrc, not in the Oxygen app plist files). What do I do to get Oxygen to use the 1.7 JRE? Thanks, E. ————— Eliot Kimber, Owner Contrext, LLC http://contrext.com
