Description Paul Webster CLA 2014-06-25 10:36:01 EDT
At the bottom of http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ the hint says:

Hint

You will need a Java runtime environment (JRE) to use Eclipse (Java SE 6 or greater is recommended). All downloads are provided under the terms and conditions of the Eclipse Foundation Software User Agreement unless otherwise specified.

But Eclipse standard (and I thought most of the EPPs) switched to java 7 (so we downloaded it, fired it up, and doesn't work).  Can we upgrade the "hint" to see most EPPs now require java 7.
