I have tried software update, I’ve tried downloading the update and installing it manually. no matter what I do, my machine is always running 1.5 when I need 1.6.

java -version java version "1.5.0_20" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_20-b02-315) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_20-141, mixed mode, sharing)

java -version java version "1.6.0_17" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04-248-10M3025) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.3-b01-101, mixed mode)

I don’t know what you are running, but I am running Snow Leopard. And since Apple provides Java I think that is the only way to get it.

Actually found a good link:

java -version java version "1.6.0_15" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_15-b03-226) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.1-b02-92, mixed mode)

However, I still get this error when trying to run apps that use java:

Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM.

Apple Computer supplies their own version of Java. Use the Software Update feature (available on the Apple menu) to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java for your Mac.

If you have problems with downloading, installing or using Java on Mac, please contact Apple Computer Technical Support.

Assuming Java 1.6 is already installed, which it probably is, two things you need to do:

1. Open up Java Preferences (in /Applications/Utilities) and make sure the order has Java 6 above Java 5.

2. Set JAVA_HOME to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home. E.g., my ~/.bashrc has this line:

Once you’ve done this, everything should default to using Java 6.

I’m running on 10.5.8 and I have this exact same problem even after dragging Java SE6 so that it’s above Java 5 in preferences. I’ve checked in terminal to see that I actually have 1.6, which I do, however my MacBook is still using 1.5.

I’m not very computer illiterate and this has been driving me mad for days so any help would do.

To find out what you have installed and what is currently configured as your default, open terminal and cd to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions and type «ls -las». When I do this I see:

Step By Step Procedure to Reproduce — Java Update On Mac ERROR

# Resolving Java Update On Mac issue

More details about this Bug in OpenJDK —

But the Java control panel under System Preferences says «Your current version is Java 8 Update 121. It is recommended that you update now to get the latest security fixes.»

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Darwin saturne.local 13.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 13.4.0: Mon Jan 11 18:17:34 PST 2016; root:xnu-2422.115.15~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
OSX comes with java 6. I manually installed Java 8. I installed the last update, Java 8 121 because already then the update failed.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
SInce I installed Java 8 the automatic java update fails.

A popup says «A new version of Java is available!». I have 121 build 13, the latest is 131 build 11.
I choose «Install Update».

A popup says «Updating Java, Downloading update. » with a progress bar and a text «XX MB of 67.0 MB».

When the progress bar reaches 67 MB, it waits there for maybe 30 seconds.

Then a new popup says «Update Error!» An error occurred while donwloading the update. Please try again later.» The only option is to cancel the update.

And it does this every time since I installed Java 8 JDK manually. I somehow expect the new version will fix the update process but it repeatedly doesn’t.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 6u45

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
$ java -version
java version «1.6.0_65»
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-462, mixed mode)

But the Java control panel under System Preferences says «Your current version is Java 8 Update 121. It is recommended that you update now to get the latest security fixes.»

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
I suppose that if you take a Mac and install manually Java 8 over the OS’s Java 6, it will behave like that. I have seen another person reporting this on StackOverflow after installing the jre (I installed the jdk).

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED —
The update should complete. The control panel should show the new version.
ACTUAL —
The update does not complete. The control panel still complains that I should update urgently.

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
«Update Error!»

An error occurred while downloading the update.
Please try again later.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Download the whoel jdk manually from Oracle every time an update is relesed.

When checked with current MAC OS X 10.12.4 (Sierra), the update from 8u121 to 8u131 installed successfully.
This still need to be checked with reported MAC version, therefore keeping it open for further evaluation.Comment by Stephen Fitch [ 2017-05-02 ] Seen on 10.9.5 — now unsupported by Apple.
