error when launching eclipse on Mac

I hava Java 7 installed:

➜ ~ java -version java version "1.7.0_76" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_76-b13) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.76-b04, mixed mode) ➜ ~

I downloaded eclipse 4.3 and when launching I receive the error saying it needs :

"To open "Eclipse" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime".

Do i need to install JavaSE 6 runtime besides having JavaSE 7 runtime??

Yes. For Mac, and if you don't want to manually mess up with the current installed Java 7 environment, you need to manually download and install a JaveSE 6 runtime

You can find the Apple download at

Hope this helps
