No, it's a bundle, so it looks like a single file in the file chooser. Eclipse is looking for JDK1.7.0/Contents/Home.

One way around this is to right-click on the JDK, choose "Show Package Contents", and then navigate to Contents/Home. Then, drag the Home folder to the file chooser. It also looks like you can type in the last part of the path to the JDK folder in the 'JRE Home' field.
