I have probably removed some classes that I shouldn't have removed, because when I'm making a project in eclipse, everything works fine when I set my project to use java SE 1.5, but when I try to use version 1.6, it says the type 'java.lang.object' cannot be resolved. rerunning the java installation package doesn't wrk, how can I fix this?

the output of the ls command someone requested in the comments:

Please do a 'ls -l /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/' in terminal and post your output. – ZeroPage Jun 23 '11 at 13:50
I am assuming you tried uninstalling before reinstalling? – harper89 Jun 23 '11 at 13:51
doing that now. – sys.stderr Jun 23 '11 at 13:55
Looks normal too me, you could register as an apple developer (it's free) and then get access to developer.apple.com/java/download where you can download java for reinstallation. – ZeroPage Jun 23 '11 at 14:05
Btw, have you tried to change your java runtime with the /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app ? – ZeroPage Jun 23 '11 at 14:06
