I have installed java 7 version and my JAVA_HOME points to java7 as well. How to get rid of these errors?

I am updated Java home to point to java7.

Answer 1

You might have multiple versions of java and orion might be picking the latest one. You can update the orion.ini config file which will be at /Applications/SAPWebIDE/eclipse/orion.app/Contents/MacOS/orion.ini. Add the following just before -vmargs attribute:

-vm
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk<java7version>.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java

Make sure jdk directory is points to java7 and both of these are in different lines.
