I try to access a .jar file typing "java -jar <file name> in Terminal, but I received the following message:
"Could not create the Java virtual machine"
Some help, please.
Java is not installed by default in 10.8. Open /Utilities/Java Preferences.app and you'll be prompted to install.
I'm sorry, but I don't see how to install it. The general window has two Java version (64 and 32 bits) checked, a "Restore values by default" button, and when selecting a version the Options button is activated, but none of them allow me to install Java. ¿Where I need to go to install it? Thank you.
It is installed, Java 6 is Apple's version, if you're looking for Java 7 you'll need to install through Adobe.
Thank you macjack
Why not install Java 7 from the people who make it...

Yes, it should be better the original one. Thank you.
By the way, I have just downloaded and installed Java 7. But looking at the Java Preferences utility I see that the installed version is 1.6.0-35 (the last one).
Using Terminal, I confirm that the installed version is 6 in place of 7.
java version "1.6.0_35"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_35-b10-428-11M3811)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.10-b01-428, mixed mode)
I am missing something? When manually insntalling Java need I touch other components? Thxs
Thanks, don't know why I wrote Adobe.😕
Not sure, I have only Java 6 installed. I don't need 7 for my applets.
No problem macjack. We continuously make mistakes and say o write wrong words. The question is to be able to correct them. Thxs anyway.

OK, David, thank you very much. The default version is Java 6, but Java 7 appears as the version to be used with Safari and Firefox (but not with Chrome, as this one is 32 bit based).
One can see that version 7 is installed in the System Preferences, as shown in the window.
How do I know if I have Java installed on my Mac?
Mac OS X 10.6 and below: Apple's Java comes pre-installed with your Mac OS.
Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) and above: Java is not pre-installed with Mac OS X versions 10.7 and above. To get the latest Java 7 from Oracle, you will need Mac OS X 10.7.3 and above.
If you have Java 7, you will see a Java icon under System Preferences.
Java versions 6 and below are listed in the Java Preferences.app located in the Applications > Utilities folder on your Mac.
there is no java virtual machine in Mountain Lion?
