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. Editors note: This question was asked in 2014, and the answers may be outdated.
