Java Preferences won't start

[Anthony Petrov]

I've tried that to no avail. I've even restarted my Mac, still the same 
issue - java_home only sees the 7u10 by default. I.e.:

[anthony at mac ~]$ set | grep JAVA
[anthony at mac ~]$ /usr/libexec/java_home
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_10.jdk/Contents/Home
[anthony at mac ~]$ /usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0.jdk/Contents/Home

So, it does see the 1.8 installation when requested explicitly, but 
won't choose it by default for some reason.

Any clues?

PS. My PATH doesn't contain anything suspicious either:

[anthony at mac ~]$ set | grep PATH
PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin:/export/anthony/bin/mac:/export/anthony/bin
