How can I switch between multiple versions of Java on my Mac?
The Java Preferences application allows users to choose which version is used by applications, Applets, and command-line tools. Apple developer tools such as Jar Bundler and Xcode both allow you to request a minimum or specific Java version for double-clickable applications.

Java installed on Mac OSX

For Mac OSX you will need to download Java 6 from http://developer.apple.com/java/download/.

After installing Java you will need to set the following environment variables:


$ export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home
$ export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
