Some of the other answers might be correct but this is what worked for me (which is different and up to date as of January 2016) when installing it on a new computer at the office. The path as mentioned in another answer is /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines//Contents/Home Here however is a visual guide to getting there, because you can find many directories named 'Library'. Make sure you are here then click into JavaVirtualMachines If you are doing a new setup and just downloaded Android studio, they might have sent you to 'Download Java for OS X 2015-001' at That gives you version 1.6.0 That won't work!!!! I got the error that I needed JDK 7.0 or newer. I looked for a newer version and found this link from Oracle I installed it, then selected that one. And it worked.
The version 8 release from Oracle (1.8.040-b25) can be found at: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.040.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java FYI: Oracle is not following the practice of making /Library/Java/Current (etc) a link to the latest installed java. Below is my method of keeping up with versions over time: from my.zshrc file: 108 JAVA6HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home 109 JAVA7HOME=/Library/Java/Current 110 JAVA8HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.040.jdk/Contents/Home 111 112 export JAVA6HOME 113 export JAVA7HOME 114 export JAVA8HOME 115 116 export JAVAHOME=$JAVA8HOME 117 118 PATH=$PATH:$JAVAHOME/bin 119.
Processing @19 A development version of an NPAPI Java plugin shipped with Snow Leopard (mentioned in the Java for Snow Leopard release notes), but it's not viable for use yet. No final release date is listed, so you'd have to ask Apple about that (same goes for whether there is anything you could do to make it happen faster, but I would imagine not). JEP is not designed for out-of-process use, and would almost certainly be infeasible to get working that way. When Java support is feasible, we'll certainly work on making sure it works correctly; for now, just starring the issue so you get updates is the best thing to do. Processing I am a little surprised to see a 32bit Chrome Helper start a 64bit Java Applet Host - I may be going a little beside the issue now, but might there be a way to start a 32bit Java VM rather than a 64bit one?
It appears Chrome (or just the Java Applet Bundle/Plugin) goes through a lot of effort to find a JDK (which I believe is only available as 64bit at /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0) rather than the JRE (at /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A), regardless of the preference set in Java Preferences. I merely ask because we need to interact with pcscd and this seems to only work when running a 32bit JVM.
Oct 09, 2011 The website says that the Drop and Drag only works if there is the Java Plugin Version 1.5 installed, but when I try to download the plugin, the site states that if I have a Mac with Snow Leopard, I automatically have the plugin.
Processing There are issues with the operation of the applet, that are not seen on Safari. Just to reinforce what Mike was getting at in comment 66: if you are doing comparative testing in order to report bugs, it's critical that you actually use Plugin2 in all the browsers you are testing with; comparisons between Plugin2 in Chromium and a different plugin (Safari's.webplugin, Firefox/Camino's JEP, etc.) in another browser don't really tell us much. With that in mind, if a bug is Chromium specific filing a new bug here is definitely the right answer. Please don't raise sub-issues in this bug, because it makes them impossible to track effectively, and they will almost certainly be lost when I close this bug-which will be as soon as basic support is generally available, not when it's bug-free.
