In the finder, search for an application called "Java Preferences" (in
French, it is "Préférences Java").
You will see some implementations of Java.
Drag and drop the 1.6 64 bits on the top.

It is my personal opinion but I found the way Apple is managing various
JVMs pretty bad. We are working on tackling these issues from Scilab but
since they are changing things regularly, it is hard to keep track...
