I figured this out today while reading Google's instructions on how to create Java applications for App Engine. (Side note: Woot!) The section regarding compatibility with different versions of Java contained this curious sentence:
For developers that don't have easy access to Java 6 (such as developers using Mac OS X), the App Engine SDK is compatible with Java 5.That was a head-scratcher. I know that Apple's support for Java usually lags Sun's releases for Windows/Solaris/Linux by a few months, but Java 6 was released over two years ago. Surely Apple has caught up by now, right? To the Terminal window!
Huh. That can't be right, can it? No, a little poking around on Apple's site reveals that Java SE 6 was pushed out to users with Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 1, back in May 2008. So where's my Java 6?Hank:~ mtye$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_16"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_16-b06-284)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_16-133, mixed mode, sharing)
I found a crucial clue here. Apparently, in the
/Applications/Utilities/Java
directory, there's a Java Preferences application that can be used to determine which Java version is used by default. I fired it up and got this:

Let's check again:
Hank:~ mtye$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06-153)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0_07-b06-57, mixed mode)
Ah, that's much better. I feel so 2007 now!
Thanks a lot. I am impressed that some programs could not find the v1.6

ReplyDeleteYou said "Mac OS X 1.5 (Tiger) uses J2SE "
ReplyDeleteMac OS X 10.4 is Tiger
Mac OS X 10.5 is Leopard
Mac OS X 10.6 is Snow Leopard
The BIG question is if 10.4 Tiger can run Java 1.6. Do you know?
Thanks. That was VERY helpful. Gotta wonder why mac does that.
ReplyDeleteextremely bummed to find out i cant run se 6 on my powerbook g4
ReplyDeleteThis didn't work for me, after performing this change in Utilities I still had
ReplyDelete$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_30"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_30-b03-389-9M3425)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_30-161, mixed mode, sharing)
I noted that /usr/bin/java was a symlink
$ ls -ld ` which java `
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 74 Jul 16 2011 /usr/bin/java -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java
So I reset it as below
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions
sudo mv Current Current.old
sudo mv CurrentJDK CurrentJDK.old
sudo ln -s 1.6 CurrentJDK
sudo ln -s 1.6 Current
That worked fine.
Thanks for your info.
