If you are using your own software and not workspaces (e.g. Eclipse). The first thing to check is your preferences or locate the java directory and check for installed sdk. If the sdk is not what you expect you'll have to uninstall the current one and replace it (sdk 6 -> 7). Remember to update your environmental variables (JAVA_HOME) upon doing so. Let me know what you find and if it helps.. I can guide you better after knowing so.
