You need to download and install the full JDK (Java Development Kit). You only updated the JRE (Java Runtime Environment).

Open the .bash_profile 

vi ~/.bash_profile

add following line

export  JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7`

This tells your /usr/bin/java link target to use the latest Java 7 Package installed in

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/

So for JDK 1.7.0_17 JAVA_HOME would be:

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_17.jdk/Contents/Ho

Open a terminal and type export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7)
