eclipse JNI_CreateJavaVM error at mac os x

Question

i am using mac os x 10.8.2. i have installed java 1.7 and then take back since i can not send iphone applications via xcode. now java 1.6 is installed.

ysnky@ ~$ java -version java version "1.6.0_37" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_37-b06-434-11M3909) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01-434, mixed mode) ysnky@ ~$

but now i can not run eclipse. it does not open, it gives this alert and closed.

The JVM shared library "/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework" does not contain the JNI_CreateJavaVM symbol.

i am really confused and can not find a solution. i just want to run eclipse, that is all :( thanks.

I was able to solve this by first removing any previously installed versions of the Oracle Java jdk. Instructions are here:

Then installing Apple's official Java JDK. For some reason the Java download page on support.apple.com came back blank for me, but via Google's cached copy of the page, I found the direct link to download, which is what finally fixed this issue for me:

If you don't have the file /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current execute the following command

cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A Current
