- When you install the Java Development Kit (JDK), the associated Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed at the same time. The JavaFX SDK and Runtime are also installed and integrated into the standard JDK directory structure. Depending on your processor, the downloaded file has one of the following names: jdk-8u version-macosx-amd64.dmg.
- Download the Java SE 6 for OSX (click the Download button) Once the download finishes, install the dmg file following the onscreen instructions. When you have Java Runtime 6 installed on your Mac, you can launch Adobe CS5 (or any other app that require Java 6 runtime). Note: You DO NOT need to restart your Mac before launching the app.
- The last time this kind of thing bit me I was inadvertently installing the run-time Java (which is what Apple usually provides a link to) on my server, not the full Java SDK (which has the compilers and stuff you need to do developmentn).
