Where i can find Java for Mac OS X 10.8.3 ??? i need to use MicroChip debugger MPLAB ICD 3

Apple Java 2013-002

The latest Java 7 update 17 voor OS X 10.8.3!

Goodluck!

Apple's Java turns it off automatically. It's difficult to enable it. Try installing Java SE Runtime Environment 7 1.7.0_17 instead. Same thing but Oracle installs a preference pane where you can enable and disable it. Should make it easier to get by. If you have other issues, though, you will need to contact the software developer for assistance since it won't be related to these Java installations but something else.

I was just wondering why you used a link to first redirect the OP to http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/44788/java-se-runtime-environment-7? The link on the MacUpdate site is excact the same link to http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp as I provided to the OP?

Cheers.

Thank for your answrr! i try and got next:

The installer could not find a version of Java(tm) which could be used for MPLAB X.

Install Java 6 (JRE 1.6.n) from Apple. (This version of MPLAB X requires Java 6.)

I am using the Java 7 install from Oracle and my MPLAB X

works just fine along with My ICD 3. The debugger has worked

without issue with work I have been doing on both PIC18LF8722

and PIC32MX795F512L. This has been with the xc8 and xc32

compilers respectively. As far as the installers, I am not sure

if I had done updates before or after the JAVA update.

As I see there is an update to MPLAB X (1.7 currently running

1.6) I will try run the update and get back.

Well the update worked fine but on some more investigation

I have found the following:

According to JAVA Preference Panel I have this:

However, in terminal I get this:

XXXXXXXXXX$ java -version

java version "1.6.0_37"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_37-b06-434-11M3909)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01-434, mixed mode)

Not sure what is going on here as this was the Oracle package that

was used: jre 7uxxx-macosx-x64.dmg. Used the xxx since I am

not sure what the original version of the install was. Also, in the

MPLAB X about box, it is sayin it is using 1.6.

Because it's far easier to find file links at one site than to find them at multiple sites. And, in this case I don't have to search through Adobe's site to find the right link, so it's a time saver. There are very few downloads that can't be found at MacUpdate.com. 🙂

What's going on is that the Terminal command tells you which Java 1.6 you have. That one's obsolete, since the latest is:

$ java -version

java version "1.6.0_43"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_43-b01-447-10M4203)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.14-b01-447, mixed mode)

To determine your Java 1.7 version via the Terminal, you need to run:

$ /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java -version

java version "1.7.0_17"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_17-b02)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)

Thanks for your insight, good idea and handy candy. Will add this to my bookmarks! Cheers.

Thanks for clearing up. Therefore, the Oracle download only

installs for internet (since the path is /Library/Internet) and the

other is the "system" Java. So, if I wanted 1.7 to be the

"system" Java I would need to get the JDK or such package?

Hi, same question here as last poster. How to update Os to latest Java? Have the same terminal output as @balltwo. Thanks for the help. Chheers

AFAIK, if both are installed, then Java 1.7 is the preferred one. To reenable Java 1.6, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559 for details.

Thanks!
