If App needs older than Legacy-Java 6 (1.6), then we have to get it from 'Oracle' site, as OpenJDK does not have older than Legacy-Java 6 (1.6).īy the way, OpenJDK's macOS optimized Java binary-files (and src-code) are available for Java 9 (1.9) & above, in OpenJDK archive-site. To obtain Legacy-Java, we can also get it from 'Oracle' website ('Oracle' purchased 'Sun', & 'Sun' developed Java), but Java from 'Oracle' is free only for Personal usage, & also needs user to free-registration in website, it is not-free for Commercial usage, & not-free if you want to distribute JRE with your App, etc. OBTAIN JAVA : I suggest to use OpenJDK based Java (OpenJDK based Java release includes JDK & JRE) from site (it is free for any Commercial usage & also free for any Personal usage & you're free to include JRE/JDK with your App, etc ), use OpenJDK when a java-based App needs (latest) Java or Legacy-Java (not below Legacy-Java 6).Then Apple macOSX stopped including any Java, so user had to load on their own. ( i think, upto Java SE 6 in upto macOSX High-Sierra 10.13 ). One computer can have/use multiple versions of Java JRE/JDK, etc.So user need to load those specific version, which is required by an App. Some apps specifically need to use very specific (old) version of Java SE JRE/JDK, etc.'LEGACY JAVA' is older version of Java SE JRE/JDK, etc. Run/double-click on 'JavaSE6.pkg' file inside ~/Downloads/tmp/ folder.
