1. Take care: Version Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0 is not Version Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0 !
Mac OS X Port Project. The goal of this Project is to produce a high-quality, open source version of JDK 7 for the Mac. The final release has the following goals: Pass all appropriate certification tests for Java SE 7; Include a complete, native Cocoa-based UI Toolkit; Provide excellent performance; This Project is sponsored by the Porters. In my previous post, I described two issues that I was facing with JDeveloper 11.1.1.9.0 using Oracle JDK 1.7 on a Mac OS X system. After a few trials, I have found that you will need Apple JDK 1.6. Download the JDK.dmg file, jdk-10. Before the file can be downloaded, you must accept the license agreement. From either the browser Downloads window or from the file browser, double-click the.dmg file to start it. Dear Sun, I switched lately to Mac OS X and I was thinking the support of JDK 1.6 will be there, but as we know there is not and Apple does not post any information about it and instead they relesead JDK 5 with Leopard. I think is coming the same case as was before with Java and Microsoft. Download Java for OS X directly from Oracle. Get the latest version If an app or webpage you want to use asks you to install Java software, you can download the current version of Java for OS X directly from Oracle's website.
There are more than one Version of Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0
Both start with Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0
The latest version has *CLOUD* within the Version Title.
If you want to try Oracle Cloud, than you need to download this version in order to have the cloud connection availabe within the database navigator.
2. Download the Oracle Software:So you might want to download the latest Version 11.1.1.6.0.
(Although a Version Oracle JDeveloper 11g (11.1.2.3.0) (Build 6276.1) is availabe, this Version is not suitable if you want to build SOA, BPM, WebCenter or Oracle Cloud applications.
Download Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/downloads/jdeveloper11116-1377208.html
3. Install Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0
ATTENTION: This not trivial as well. If you try to install Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0 with JDK 1.7.x it will fail with error: 'A fatal error has occurred. This application will terminate.'
So we need to start the installation with JDK 1.6.x.
But: you might kbow, that the responsibility for Java has been moved from Apple to Oracle...
Start your terminal.
java -version
java version '1.7.0_13'
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_13-b20)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
Now we create a dummy folder with a symbolic link:
sudo mkdir -p /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/jre/lib
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/jre/lib/
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/classes/classes.jar rt.jar
Now we set the environment to Java 1.6.x:
export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
Now check the java version, again:
java -version
java version '1.6.0_37'
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_37-b06-434-11M3909)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01-434, mixed mode)
Perfect.
Now we can navigare to the download folder and start the installer:
java -jar jdevstudio11116install.jar
Your Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0 install shoud be successful.
And now you should also be able to see the cloud connection option in the Database Navigator:
Enjoy!

System Requirements for Installing the JDK on macOS
The following are the system requirements for installing the JDK on macOS:
- Any Intel-based computer running macOS.
- Administrator privileges.You cannot install Java for a single user. Installing the JDK on macOS is performed on a systemwide basis for all users. Administrator privileges are required to install the JDK on macOS.
Determining the Default JDK Version on macOS
When starting a Java application through the command line, the system uses the default JDK.
There can be multiple JDKs installed on the macOS system.
You can determine which version of the JDK is the default by entering
java -version
in a Terminal window. If the installed version is 12 Interim 0, Update 0, and Patch 0, then you see a string that includes the text 12
. For example: To run a different version of Java, either specify the full path, or use the
java_home
tool. For example: $ /usr/libexec/java_home -v 12 --exec javac -version
Installing the JDK on macOS
- Download the JDK
.dmg
file,jdk-12.
interim.update.patch-macosx-x64.dmg
.Before the file can be downloaded, you must accept the license agreement. - From either the browser Downloads window or from the file browser, double-click the
.dmg
file to start it.A Finder window appears that contains an icon of an open box and the name of the.pkg
file. - Double-click the
JDK 12.pkg
icon to start the installation application.The installation application displays the Introduction window. - Click Continue.
- Click Install. A window appears that displays the message: Installer is trying to install new software. Enter your password to allow this.
- Enter the Administrator user name and password and click Install Software.The software is installed and a confirmation window is displayed.
After the software is installed, you can delete the
.dmg
file if you want to save disk space. Uninstalling the JDK on macOS
You must have Administrator privileges.Note:
Jdk 1.8 Mac Download
Do not attempt to uninstall Java by removing the Java tools from
/usr/bin
. This directory is part of the system software and any changes will be reset by Apple the next time that you perform an update of the OS. - Go to
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
. - Remove the directory whose name matches the following format by executing the
rm
command as a root user or by using thesudo
tool:/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-interim.update.patch.jdk
For example, to uninstall 12 Interim 0 Update 0 Patch 0:$ rm -rf jdk-12.jdk
Installation FAQ on macOS Platform
This topic provides answers for the following frequently asked questions about installing JDK on macOS computers.
1. How do I find out which version of Java is the system default?
Jdk Mac Os
When you run a Java application from the command line, it uses the default JDK. If you do not develop Java applications, then you do not need to worry about this. See Determining the Default JDK Version on macOS.
2. How do I uninstall Java?
See Uninstalling the JDK on macOS.
3. After installing Java for macOS 2012-006, can I continue to use Apple's Java 6 alongside the macOS JDK for Java 12?
If you want to continue to develop with Java 6 using command-line, then you can modify the startup script for your favorite command environment. For bash, use this:
$ export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 12`
Some applications use
/usr/bin/java
to call Java. After installing Java for macOS 2012-006, /usr/bin/java
will find the newest JDK installed, and will use that for all of the Java-related command-line tools in /usr/bin
. You may need to modify those applications to find Java 6, or contact the developer for a newer version of the application. 4. Can I restore Apple Java after uninstalling Oracle Java?
Jdk 1.6 Mac Download
Go back to Apple Java using the following instructions:
Jdk 1.6 Download Mac Os X64
- Uninstall Oracle Java by deleting the plug-in file. From a command-line, enter:
$ sudo rm -rf '/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin'
- Create a symlink using the following command, entered on a single line:
$ sudo ln -s /System/Library/Java/Support/CoreDeploy.bundle/Contents/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin '/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin'
5. What happened to the Java Preferences app in Application Utilities?
Download Jdk 1.6
The Java Preferences app was part of the Apple Java installation and is not used by Oracle Java. Therefore, macOS releases from Apple that do not include Apple Java will not include Java Preferences.
