Answer 1

Go to Eclipse folder where you have eclipse installed (say c:\eclipse). You will find eclipse.ini file which eclipse uses to while starting. Add the following line -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\bin\javaw.exe

change the above java path with your location of JDK. It should be able to use this JDK and will compile and deploy to app engine.
