Multiple versions of Java on OS X Mountain Lion
Java SE 6 Downloads. Go to the Oracle Java Archive page. Thank you for downloading this release of the Java TM Platform, Standard Edition Development Kit (JDK TM).The JDK is a development environment for building applications, applets, and components using the Java programming language. I go to the Oracle Java web site it says 'Apple supplies their version of Java SE 6 runtime and there's no way to download it from the Java.com site. All this means is that YOUR software does not work on my MAC because these two companies can't agree on who suppies this software. またMac OS X 10.7以降では、WebブラウザのJava Appletの利用にはJava SE 7以降が必要です。 （2012/10/16のセキュリティアップデート以降は、Java SE 6ではAppletが利用できなくなりました）.

Before Mountain Lion, Java was bundled inside OS X. It seems that during the upgrade, the Java 6 version I had on my machine was removed.
Apparently the reason for uninstalling Java during the upgrade process was caused by a security issue that the Java runtime had.In this way you are forced to install the latest version which fixed this security problem.
So I went to /Applications/Utilities/ open a Terminal and executed the following command:
java -version > 'No Java runtime present …'
A window prompted asking to install Java.Click 'Install' and get the latest version.I installed it but right after I downloaded and installed the JDK SE 7 from Oracle.
So I went to /Applications/Utilities/ open a Terminal and executed the following command:
java -version > 'No Java runtime present …'
A window prompted asking to install Java.Click 'Install' and get the latest version.I installed it but right after I downloaded and installed the JDK SE 7 from Oracle.
After installation, open the Java Preferences (Launchapad/Others ) and you will see :
Now I knew I had two versions of Java but which one I am using it ?
So what if i want to use JDK SE 7 from Oracle ?
Then I had just to drag Java SE 7 in the Java Preferences window to the first position in the list.
This time :
I said to myself let's find out more out how Java is installed on OS X so I dug for more.
There are some very useful commands : whereis and which and ls -l.
When I saw this I was a little bit curious so I went to list the Versions directory:
Now why do I have this old versions of Java on my machine ? So I asked on Ask Different
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/57986/multiple-java-versions-support-on-os-x-and-java-home-location
It seems all the old versions are links to the CurrentJDK version , which is the Apple version, except A and Current which is linked to A.I read something about this on this question.For me A acts like a temp variable. If in Java Preferences you set the in the first position Java 6 from Apple A will have Java 6 from Apple if you put on the first position Java SE 7 from Oracle A will point to this version.Current points to A.
So it means that in this Current directory will point to the first Java Version found in the Java Preferences.
A very interesting thing is the following information
This means Java from Apple is actually installed here :'/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/'
What about Java SE 7 ? I could search the filesystem to see but I found an easier way:
If in Java Preferences on the first position is Java SE 7 > Macbook pro download operating system.
If in Java Preferences on the first position is Java SE 6 (System) >
So Java on Mountain Lion (OSX) is more likely to be installed in one of this locations :
- /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
- /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
- ~/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
What about /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions ?
It seems that is linked to the so called 'Java bridge'.Here it seems is the native part of the Java on OSX installation.
Today I set out to get Java 7 JDK running on MacOS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2). As Apple actually only installs Java 6 (1.6.x) one needs to get Java 7 from the Oracle website at the Java SE download site.
Once downloaded simply run the installer and it (should) install Java 7 properly on your system. After that, you can use the following command to make Java 7 the active version to use:
Now, if you use 'java -version' it should actually give the output that it used Java 7.
Troubleshooting
Now the above should all be according to the book, but as things are when it comes to Java they are never 'click and go'. One of the problems, I've had was that no application on the terminal actually picked up the Java 7 JDK. Digging around a bit showed me that the installation created sym links in the '/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/' directory.
As it turns out the 'CurrentJDK' linked to the 'old' Java 6 (1.6) installation. So, in order to point it to Java 7 I've had to do the following:

This immediately fixed the issue and all terminal applications worked again.

Note: I've had manually set the 'JAVA_HOME' and 'JRE_HOME' variables in the '.profile' file. With the above setting I've had to remove those variables in order to make it work!

Troubleshooting 2
Download Java 6 Runtime Mac
I initially removed the Apple installed Java 6 (1.6) installation manually, I removed the directory /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework and other Java references (yes, I know it is/was a bad idea). Just installing Java 7 did not help nor does a system reboot. Also, Apple updates did not recognise that Java was gone. Also, installing Java 6 from Apple directly (download img) did not help. Free download lisp autocad. In short, nothing worked anymore.

The only solution was to get Pacifist (look for it on the web). Within Pacifist load the PKG (from the Java 6 image) and install the complete package and overwrite all existing installation. This will replace all the files I accidentally removed (the important system files) and got it all up and running again.
