To see all the installed java: $ jenv versionsĪbove command will give the list of installed java: * system (set by /Users/lyncean/.jenv/version)Ĭonfigure the java version which you want to use: $ jenv global oracle64-1.6.0.39 $ jenv add /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.11.0_2.jdk/Contents/Home $ echo 'eval '$(jenv init -)'' > ~/.bash_profileĪdd the installed java to jenv: $ jenv add /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_202.jdk/Contents/Home

$ echo 'export PATH='$HOME/.jenv/bin:$PATH'' > ~/.bash_profile Install and configure jenv: $ brew install jenv If you want to install/manage multiple version then you can use 'jenv': To install java 8: $ brew cask install adoptopenjdk/openjdk/adoptopenjdk8

To install latest java: $ brew cask install java Install cask (with Homebrew 0.9.5 or higher, cask is included so skip this step): $ brew tap caskroom/cask Why doesn't Oracle's installer put it where it really goes? And how can I work around this problem?Īssumption: Mac machine and you already have installed homebrew. Ironically, the 'Java' control panel under System Preferences shows only Java 1.8! usr/libexec/java_home -V still only lists the old Java 1.6. I've tried adding a symbolic link to make it look like 1.8 is in the /System/Library. But /usr/libexec/java_home doesn't find 1.8, so all the posts I've found on how to set your current java version don't work. Not sure why the latest installer puts this in /Library instead of /System/Library (nor what the difference is). I ran Oracle's Java 8 installer, and the files look like they ended up at /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_05.jdkīut previous versions are at /System/Library/Java/JavaFrameworks/jdk1.6. I'm using IntelliJ 13 CE and Mac OS X 9 Mavericks. I want to do some programming with the latest JavaFX, which requires Java 8.

If you don't see Applications, then open a new window for Applications (from the Finder, command-shift-A), and drag the eclipse folder into Applications.

When you open your Downloads folder, if you see Applications under the Favorites on the left side of the window, you should drag the eclipse folder into Applications. When that's done, you should see a folder named eclipse in your Downloads folder. You should not feel compelled to donate.Īfter the download completes, folders should automatically expand.
