System Workbench for STM32

Hi, I installed Eclipse on my MacBook if I start up the SystemWorkbench.app I get the error:

Version 1.6.0_65 of the JVM is not suitable for this product.
Version: 1.7 or greater is required.

On my MacBook I have JAVA 1.8.
Does Eclipse works with JAVA version 1.8 or do I need version JAVA 1.7?

I run OSX version 10.12.3 and XCODE version 8.2.1.

thanks,

John
