Eclipse IDE – OSX Install – error Java JVM incompatible version – cannot install.

IF Running the ECLIPSE INSTALLER – a dialog is presented:

Incompatible JVM
"Version 1.6.x of the JVM is not suitable for this product. Version 1.7.0 or greater is required"

Check your installed Java Virtual Machines that already installed (terminal):
```
java -version
javac -version
```
for 1.8 update 111, you would get the following output
```
java version "1.8.0_111"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode)
```
IF you have 1.6 then you would need to install an updated JDK – download latest from: ORACLE JAVA 8 DOWNLOADS

After installation, check with “java -version” command (as above) to verify, and check and note the file path (you will need it later) –

ls -la /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/

Sample output:
