Using JDK 7 Or Higher With Android Studio And Eclipse On Mac OSX

Both Android Studio and Eclipse are asking me to install JDK 6 even though JDK 8 is already installed. Several workarounds online told me change the java_home to point the JDK 8 installation location, done that such that both /usr/libexec/java_home and java -version commands refer to the JDK 8 installation but Android Studio and Eclipse still asking me to install JDK 6. Anyone solved this issue.

Android Studio is based on Intellij Idea 13. The solution here also applies. Just modifying Info.plist from 1.6* to 1.7* did it for me.

Btw, I've observed that at least Android Studio 0.5.5 uses massive amounts of memory. With Java 8 it gets over 2GB for very simple projects. With Java 7 it is still bad, but takes around 1.5GB.
