  This has been discussed a few times on this mailing list, and google(java7 command line macosx). The java preference panel seems to have disappeared on Mountain Lion.

  if the apple provided java6 is not present on Mountain Lion, the standard behavior is to trigger the download, even there is Oracle java7 on your computer.

  The java command line then points to
$ which java
 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Commands/java

  If you want to use java7, with or without downloading apple java6,  you can execute
$ export PATH=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)/bin:$PATH
$ which java
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_07.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java

  If you want this setting to be permanent, you can adjust your ~/.bashrc accordingly
