I would like to use java and javac on Mac OS X 10.8.2, but in the terminal when I ask for version with this command: java -version or javac -version it returns the following versions:
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)
and
javac 1.6.0_37
When I go to the settings app and tap on the Java icon in the Other section, it opens the Java Control Panel and there the jre version is 1.7.0_10
Which is used? And how can I update the java in terminal, not to use the 1.6.0 version?
Does anybody experienced this problem?
Open Java Preference App, you may find several JDKs, you can drag JDK7 to the top of the list, then re-open the shell, and invoke java -version. It will change to the JDK7.
