Goals
See 'Note for Users of OS X that Include Apple Java 6 Plug-in'. Only one JRE can be installed. Installing a JRE removes the previously installed JRE. The JRE version used by the system can be determined in one of two ways: From System Preferences click the Java icon from the Other category. This launches the Java Control Panel.
- My Mac currently is running Snow Leopard (10.6.8), and I would like to develop with Java 7. I downloaded the Java 7 OS X installer from Oracle's website, started to run it.Unfortunately, I was immediately greeted with a message that said the installer is supported only on OS X Lion (10.7.3).
- Java 1.6 Update 39 - Mac OS X 10.8.2? Hello there, I updated my iMac from OS X 10.6.8 to 10.8.2 a month ago. Recently, I noticed that my Java version (1.6.37) on my computer is outdated, as 1.6.39 has now been released. My question is: how do I update my Java from 1.6.37 to 1.6.39 on OS.

- Pass all appropriate certification tests for Java SE 7
- Include a complete, native Cocoa-based UI Toolkit
- DONE.
- Provide excellent performance
- Integrate into main-line OpenJDK 8
- DONE. OS X is now 'just another platform' in OpenJDK 8
Minimum requirements to run
- An Intel Mac
- RAM: 2GB
Note that only Mac OS X 10.7.3 and higher will be an Oracle-supported platform. It should continue to run on 10.6.8+ but that is not guaranteed. As of 1-Jan-2012 there are no plans to introduce 10.7-only APIs into the codebase.
Prerequisites to build
- Hardware: Any 64-bit capable Intel Mac
- RAM: 4GB
- Minimum OS version: Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion
- Mercurial: http://mercurial.berkwood.com/
- X11
- On OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion: XQuartz
- On OS X 10.7 Lion: Run /Applications/Utilities/X11.app to install as an additional download
JTReg is not required to build but useful for running regression tests
- Jtreg: http://openjdk.java.net/jtreg/
1. Get the code
2. Build
* Steps for incremental building
3. Smoke Test
4. Install
5. Run
If you have the Java Developer Package installed:
6. Test
Download jtreg to run the tests in the /jdk/test directory.

This page describes how to install and uninstall JRE 8 on OS X computers.
Note: The JRE installation includes the JavaFX Runtime which is incorporated into the same directory structure. |
This page has these topics:
See 'JDK 8 and JRE 8 Installation Start Here' for general information about installing JDK 8 and JRE 8.
See 'OS X Platform Install FAQ' for general information about installing JRE 8 on OS X.
System Requirements
Observe these requirements:
![Java Java](/uploads/1/2/6/5/126531306/260962693.jpg)
- Any Intel-based computer running OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) or later.
- Administrator privileges.
Note that installing the JRE on OS X is performed on a system-wide basis, for all users, and administrator privileges are required. You cannot install Java for a single user.
![For For](/uploads/1/2/6/5/126531306/252371878.jpg)
Only one JRE can be installed at a time. The system will not install a JRE that has a lower version than the current version. If you wish to install a lower version of the JRE, uninstall the current version as described in 'Uninstalling the JRE'.
Installing a JRE from Oracle will not update
java -version
symlinks or add java
to your path. To be able to do this, you need to install the JDK.JRE Downloaded File
Depending on your processor, the downloaded file has one of the following names, where
version
is the update number:jre-8u
version
-macosx-amd64.dmg
jre-8u
version
-macosx-x64.dmg
Installing JRE 8u40
If you are installing JRE 8u40, then follow these steps:
- Download the file.Before the file can be downloaded, you must accept the license agreement.
- From either the Downloads window of the browser, or from the file browser, double click the file
.dmg
to launch it.A Finder window appears containing an icon of an open box and the name of the.app
file. - Double click the package icon to launch the Install app.A window appears that says, 'Java 8 Update 40 is trying to install a new helper tool. Type your password to allow this.'Enter the Administrator login name and password and then click Install Helper.The Install app then displays the Introduction window.
- Click Next.Oracle has partnered with companies that offer various products. The installer may present you with the option to install these programs when you install Java. Specify if you want these programs installed and then click Next.Note:You can disable the presentation of offers during installation by specifying the
--args SPONSORS=0
option in the terminal command line. For example:open /Volumes/Java 8 Update 40/Java 8 Update 40.app --args SPONSORS=0
An Installation Progress window is displayed. Once the software is installed, a confirmation window appears and then an applet is launched to verify the version of Java installed. - Delete the
.dmg
file if you want to save disk space.
Determining the Installed Version of the JRE
If you have not yet installed Apple's Java OS X 2012-006 update, then you are still using a version of Apple Java 6 that includes the plug-in and the Java Preferences app. See 'Note for Users of OS X that Include Apple Java 6 Plug-in'.
Java For Mac Os 10
Only one JRE can be installed. Installing a JRE removes the previously installed JRE. The JRE version used by the system can be determined in one of two ways:
