Point eclipse IDE to use another JRE / JDK other than one specified in JAVA_HOME

I am having two JRE / SDK in my development environment, however it was necessary in my situation to set JAVA_HOME to 1.4.2, this is causing my eclipse IDE to stop running as it required 1.6 and above.

May i know how i can modify eclipse ini or environment home to use my other 1.6 installation?

-vm
C:\Java\JDK\1.5\bin\javaw.exe

From the menu in the top.. Proceed as follows--

Project-->Properties--> Java Build Path--> Libraries--> JRE System Library.

Now click Edit . Select Alternate JRE. Click Installed JRE. Provide path to your other JDK. Then FINISH.

That's it.
