If you installed JavaForOSX.pkg from above, you don't need to install Java for OS X 2017-001. They are almost the same. JavaForOSX.pkg is JVMVersion 1.6.065-b14-462 and Java for OS X 2017-001 is VMVersion 1.6.065-b14-468. Anyway, iBackup doesn't work in my VMware vm. It crashes with this message. It says, “To use the java command-line tool, you need to install a JDK.” It asks you to click “More Info” and visit the JDK (Java Developer Kit) download website. The reason you’re receiving this message is due to the removal of Java support in newer versions of OS X for security reasons.

I got really sick of windows vista. So i decided to by a mac os X 1.5.5 when i started working in it the java version '1.5.016' i have been trying for the last day to download jdk 1.6 but i don't know how to do that in mac. It is so easy in windows but not that simple to find it for mac. This video will guide you through downloading and installing the Java JDK (Java Development Kit) from Oracle's website onto a Mac.

This article shows you how to install Java on Mac OSX, and also how to do Java/JDK version switching.

Tested with

Download
  • Mac OS 10.15.3
  • JDK 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 (AdoptOpenJDK)

Note
On Mac OSX, Java should installed in this folder; it is Mac’s standard.

We will show you two ways to install Java JDK on Mac, via the popular Homebrew package manager and manually installation.

1. Homebrew

1.1 Install Homebrew and update it.

1.2 Add adoptopenjdk/openjdk.

1.3 Find all available JDK.

The output may vary.

1.4 Java 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, choose one to install.

This example will install Java 8 and 11 for testing.

1.5 Where Java is installed? /usr/libexec/java_home -V

Homebrew will install the JDK at folder /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/, and this folder is Mac’s standard folder for Java installs.

1.6 Test it, by default, Mac takes the highest version.

1.7 How to do version switching? Refer to below 3. version switching

2. Manual installation

The example shows you how to download the early access JDK 14 and install it on Mac OSX.

Steps

  • Download JDK.
  • Puts the JDK folder at /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines.
  • Export JAVA_HOME.

2.1 Download the early access JDK 14 from the OpenJDK website.

2.2 Extracts tar file to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines

2.3 Export JAVA_HOME.

Download Jdk 1.8 64 Bit

Find out where is JDK 14.

Create or edit the existing ~/.bash_profile with a text editor.

Export JAVA_HOME, save and exit.

~/.bash_profile

Reflect the changes

2.4 Test it.

3. Version Switching

In this tutorial, we installed the Java 8 and Java 11 via Homebrew (Step 1), and Java 14 manually (Step 2), so this Mac has three versions now. And the Mac is using the JDK 14.

Note
There are tools like jEnv to manage the Java version switching, but I prefer to manage with export JAVA_HOME manually, it’s simple and easy to understand, no black box magic.

3.1 Create or edit the existing ~/.bash_profile with a text editor like vim or nano, export JAVA_HOME to the specified JDK we want to use on Mac.

The above changes will make JAVA_HOME point to JAVA 8.

3.2 Reflect the changes.

Done.

If we want to switch JDK version again, update the ~/.bash_profile and export JAVA_HOME to other JDK version.
