If you're running a Mac prior to the deprecated version, see the link and it talks about the location on your hard drive. The Java runtime shipping in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, will continue to be supported and maintained through the standard support cycles of those products. Developers should not rely on the Apple-supplied Java runtime being present in future versions of Mac OS X. I was going to say it was already present on my Mac (I've been running Eclipse for a while Java came pre-installed), but I'm still running OSX 10.5 and it looks like Apple has given Java the boot: :-(Īs of the release of Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3, the Java runtime ported by Apple and that ships with Mac OS X is deprecated.
