The java, javac, etc. command line tools are sensitive to the value of the JAVA_HOME environment variable and will use 1.6 if this variable points to a 1.6 JDK.

The tool /usr/libexec/java_home is your friend here. Running

/usr/libexec/java_home

will print out the appropriate JAVA_HOME value for the most up to date JDK on your system. 

you can apply constraints using the -v flag, for example

/usr/libexec/java_home -v '1.6*'

will return a JAVA_HOME value for the best available 1.6 JDK on your system. You can use this value to set JAVA_HOME:

export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v '1.6*'`

either as a one-off for a particular Terminal session, or permanently for all future terminal sessions by adding the above line to the .bash_profile file in your home directory.
