How do I tell if Java is installed on my Mac?
Read about recent security update but not sure if I need it. How do I tell if Java is installed on my Mac?
Thanks

Copy (triple-click to select the entire line) and Paste the following in Terminal
sudo /usr/libexec/java_home
Type your password at the prompt. It will not be echoed.
If you do not have Java installed you will get the following output
Unable to find any JVMs matching version "(null)".
No Java runtime present, try --request to install.

Or... just download whatever appears in Software Update. A recent Java malware remover was added on April 12. It will appear in SU whether you installed Java or not.
