As pointed out off list by Josef Vanek (I stopped counting the number of
beers I owe him ^^) the "old way of doing that" still works despite the new
VM standard location.
This means that Extracting the 1.4.2 directory from the DMG to the
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/ and then configuring
the vm location in eclipse works great.
Note to self : keep a spare snow leopard system because Lion will surely
break this behaviour
