Running Bukkit with Java 7 [Mac]

I am not able to run Bukkit with Java 7 on my Mac Lion, I have the latest version of Java 7.

How do I run Bukkit with Java 7 on my Mac?

-_-

That does not let me run Bukkit with Java 7, I still get errors from using Java 6.

 

we will need to know the error.

 

The maker of the plugin that gives me this error says I need to use Java 7 for it.

what I gathered from this post so far is that you were told you need to use Java 7,but your getting errors using java 6, even though you know you should be using java 7....soo go here:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html

and download java 7 for Mac

EDIT: you don;t need to change anything with Bukkit, it will automatically use java 7 just make sure java 6 is uninstalled so it doesn't get "confused"

 

I already installed Java 7 a while ago, I will see if Java 6 needs to be uninstalled.

 

Okay, but also did you post that error to the plugin creator?

 

Yes he said I needed to run it on Java 7

 

Are you using the right bukkit version for his plugin?
