I'm getting the following error:

Some background information: I'm running eclipse kepler 20130919-0819, os x 10.9.1, google suite plugin 3.5.1.
Deployment now does not work on any of my projects. I recently updated the plugin and there was a message that it required java 1.7. Development was working as usual after that message and I had no problems until I tried to deploy. (When I change the java compatibility on the project I get an error that GAE required 1.7.)
This may be related to the problem I'm having with java. According to mac preferences, java 1.7 is installed yet when I start a terminal session and issue the java command to check the version, it indicated 1.6. eclipse also seems to be running on 1.6 and I can't figure out how to rectify this. It may or may not be related.
My question is: can I fix this problem in place or do I have to back out updates and reinstall? I can continue to develop but am unable to deploy until I have a solution.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks to Rajeev, I have a lead but the problem is not fixed yet.
So I find the keplar eclipse.ini file. There is no -vm entry. It has the following contents:
/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines is 1.6.0.jdk. I assume that this is where eclipse is picking up the jvm.
So I find and add an entry in the .ini file following the pattern in eclipse wiki:
I get the following Alert:
Then I go to the Mac Java Preferences which says that java is 1.7 is installed under:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin/Contents/Home/bin/java
This is where java gets installed when you go to java.com to install.
Then I get:
So this is like an adventure game, but not as much fun.
I see that I have to update the .ini file, but where or how do I get the right java?
