The latest Java update removes the Java Preferences application, I have always found this useful for setting the default jvm, how do I do this without the preferences appp?
Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.7.1)
Go to System Preferences and select Java preferences pane at the bottom
Go to System Preferences and select Java preferences pane at the bottom
I've done this as well, and there is no option for JDK 6.
I am a java developer, and I need JDK 6 available from the command line.
Are you saying that the Java Preference pane has been removed from Utilities folder and is now in System Preferences?
You're right
Is this installed in the System Preferences when you download and install Java 7 update 9 JRE from Oracle?

WRONG! The Java Preferences pane accessed from System Preferences does not allow you to switch among various Java versions or to reorder them so that applications can choose the first compatible version.
This is already the case when Oracle's Java SE 7 1.7.0_09 and Apple's Java SE 6 1.6.0_35-b10-428 are installed. (The latter is the latest from Apple before the "Java for OS X 2012-006 1.0" update just released.)
The System Preferences panel does nothing to effect the default JDK from the command line. It does not list any of the installed JDK6 images on my machine.
How do I switch the commandline version of java back to jdk6? One working way is to just uninstall Java 7, but I'd rather not do that if I don't have to.
Are you guys installing the JRE or the JDK of Java 7 update 9?
I have the JDK installed. I need to know a way to not have JDK 7 take over the commandline when installed.
I don't know whether to install the JRE or the JDK. I do not use java for devleopment.
A few of us have installed the latest java udpate. We have 1.6.0_37 installed but we do not have a java option anywhere.. below is a screenshot. Can't find anything in spotlight either.
I am trying to troubleshoot Chrome / Safari not running sites with a java app (browserstack), hence why I need to get into the preferences.
Not sure where else the pref pane would be..
This answer is invaid - the Java panel in Preferences doe snot allow to switch default JDK
True - I cannot unmark the question as solved but on further investigation the preferences pane does not allow me to choose the JDK downloaded from Oracle or reorder etc.
In the same boat, and apparently if I say exactly what I think my posts get deleted.
The only way I could get embeded java to run was to access site and click on "install plugin" which would install Java 7 Update 8 jre. After this I restarted Safari and Firefox and it worked. To get jnlp and jsp files to load I had to do what I put in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4441579?answerId=20051891022#20051891022
How do I set default JVM now Java Preferences has been removed?
