#
# 2014/02/10 Updated the script to run on OSX 10.9 Maverick
#
# 2013/05/11 Added a few more guidance when Java Preferences is not available anymore 
#            Added a simple example of a JDK switch function.
#
# 2012/08/25 This script didn't behave correctly when ran on 10.8.1
#            Added recommendation to always run this script after updates such as Java, XCode, OSX, etc.
#
# 2O12/07/29 Added Mountain Lion support => Choose the 64bit JVM !
#            Can dowload the Java DMG itself if not present in same directory
#            Colored the output a bit, works well on a black background
#            Added tips for using the different JVMs
#            Removed 32bit mode for Mountain Lion (Thanks to Henri Gomez for pointing me to 'ditto')
#
# 2011/12/04 Added warnings and some more information on gotchas
#
# 2011/08/25 Updated this very comments

Seems like the Java Mayhem still continues with Apple and Oracle, in the latest Java 6 update, they removed the Java Preferences application, leaving only the Oracle one, which doesn't show all JDKs you can have, java_home still lists them but doesn't allow to define a default JDK.

http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57533880-263/java-preferences-missing-after-latest-os-x-java-update/

Hi, this script worked for Java 1.5. But now it does not show up in Eclipse for Execution Environments. Why do the Apple and Oracle Java have a .jdk-extension, 1.5.0 not?

$ ls -1 /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/
jdk1.7.0_07.jdk
jdk1.7.0_11.jdk
1.5.0
1.6.0.jdk

@fabian-hahn Because Apple changed conventions over time, some symbolic names are not the same either, between 1.5 and 1.6. And as Apple do not want anymore to deliver it's own JDK more issues will arise between 1.7 and 1.6.

For example "Java Preferences" app was removed, and I'm not sure I can bet on the future of their java_home command line tool.

For eclipse you have to set it manually, that's what I have to do anyway for different version of Java with IntelliJ.

Dear people. Oficial Apple download JavaForMacOSX10.5Update10.dmg exists no more. Found it here https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/13295/apple-java-for-mac-os-x-10.5
That switching jdk function is a beauty, thanks a lot.

Excellent!

Here's the update for OS X Mavericks (10.9): https://gist.github.com/hansenc/7234566

@hansenc Thx, I've updated recently my script to support Mavericks in a convenient way (or at least I believe so). I also added a few refinement and tips.

Bu the way the link in the script still works : http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL1359/en_US/JavaForMacOSX10.5Update10.dmg

Thanks so much for the script. I just ran it on 10.9.3 and it worked perfectly.

Wow I try to use the script on Maverick on a new macbook an it does not work I.e.
after the script runs
java_home cannot find any java VM even if the dirs are ok !!
Any clue ?

many thanks

I ran the script on Mavericks 10.9.5 and when I run java 5 using java_home it says: Unable to find any JVMs matching architecture "x86_64". Any idea?

mac:work arul$ /usr/libexec/java_home -F -v 1.5 -a x86_64 --exec java -version
Unable to find any JVMs matching architecture "x86_64".

It is not listed in the JVM list when I run:

I can check the version only using this command.

I have the same problem as aruld, on OS X Yosemite - not able to have 1.5 detected. This worked fine with Mavericks, but I assume Apple changed something again...

For information, I struggled too with java in Yosemite. And I managed to get JDK 5 working by changing the lines below:

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :JavaVM:JVMMaximumFrameworkVersion 14.*.*" ./Resources/Info.plist
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :JavaVM:JVMMaximumSystemVersion "$osx_version".*" ./Resources/Info.plist

By :

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Delete :JavaVM:JVMMaximumFrameworkVersion" ./Resources/Info.plist
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Delete :JavaVM:JVMMaximumSystemVersion" ./Resources/Info.plist

@jfougere you are a genius! That worked perfectly well in OSX 10.9.5 too, whilst I couldn't use JDK 1.5.0_30 otherwise 👍

@jfougere This doesn't seem to be working entirely. When trying to execute a program with that java, I am getting:

Cannot run Java in 32 bit mode. Continuing in 64 bit mode.

followed by an exception. This whole thing was working before in Mavericks for me. Tried your suggested changes.

@bneigher This message is normal for me because this install remove the 32 bit mode on the JDK 5 when installing if the system is recent one (from mountain lion).

I have the message too but then it works like a charm !

Are you sure your exception is related to JDK5 installation ?

@jfougere Thanks your solution it works like a charm in Yosemite !! It will be better to update the script by owner

Hi ! I have tried the jfougere's solution on 10.10 Yosemite and my java application launches then quits immediately ! The system asks me to send a report to apple, and here is the principal error message that i can extract from a huge code that explains the problem (i didn't send it to apple) :

Dyld Error Message:
Symbol not found: _CGContextSetAllowsAcceleration
Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0_30/Libraries/libawt.jnilib
Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/ApplicationServices

Can anybody help me to find a solution, please ? Thanks !

Hi,
Pierre do you find a solution, i've the exactly same problem :'(
Thanks

With the fix by jfougere, it works for me.

System: OS X 10.10.1 (14B25)
Kernel: Darwin 14.0.0

The installer at http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL1359/en_US/JavaForMacOSX10.5Update10.dmg appears to contain a Java 6 implementation, as well as Java 5 it seems.

Could I get please a little more details on jpfougere fix ;) ?
"Where" do you edit that plist ?
It is the one from the DMG ? the one of the pkg ?

many thanks

java -version gives this.
Cannot run Java in 32 bit mode. Continuing in 64 bit mode.
java version "1.5.0_30"

But still seems to use the java 1.7
Any solution?

@asiriwork, make sure your JAVA_HOME is correctly set

This is not working with elcapitan
