Currently working IDEs

Yes. That was the first thing I tried. Here's the eclipse.ini:

-startup
../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar
--launcher.library
../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.1.1.R36x_v20100810
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vm
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
-Xdock:icon=../Resources/Eclipse.icns
-XstartOnFirstThread
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts

And here's a snippet from the log after launching:

eclipse.buildId=M20100909-0800
java.version=1.6.0_22
java.vendor=Apple Inc.

As you can see, Eclipse is ignoring the -vm argument and using the default VM.
