Since OS X 10.7 Java is not (pre-)installed anymore, let’s fix that. As I’m writing this, Java 11.0.4 is the latest version and AdoptOpenJDK is one of the best places to find Prebuilt OpenJDK Binaries. Easy to follow details about how to install OpenJDK are available here.
However, the easiest way is to select OpenJDK 11 (LTS), the HotSpot JVM, and macOS x64, which will expose two option like these:
Clicking on “Install JDK installer”, will download the OpenJDK installer package, e.g. OpenJDK11U-jdk_x64_mac_hotspot_11.0.4_11.pkg, which when executed, will install into this location: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-11.jdk

On the contrary, JDK or Java Development Kit, as we mentioned above, is the pack of development tools that couldn't work without the JRE. Requirements and additional information: Minimum operating system requirements: Mac OS X 10.8.3. OpenJDK 7 for OS X Lion is based on OpenJDK sources. This solutions aims at delivering for Java enthusiasts and / or developers a working version of the next Java release for their Apple Mac.
Almost done. After opening a terminal, the successful installation of the JDK can be confirmed like so:
- Download Java for OS X directly from Oracle. Get the latest version If an app or webpage you want to use asks you to install Java software, you can download the current version of Java for OS X directly from Oracle's website.
- Long Term Support. JavaFX 11 is the first long term support release of JavaFX by Gluon. For commercial, long term support of JavaFX 11, please review our JavaFX Long Term Support options. The JavaFX 11 runtime is available as a platform-specific SDK, as a number of jmods, and as a.
… hopefully showing something like this:
JAVA_HOME is an important environment variable and it’s important to get it right. Here is a trick that allows me to keep the environment variable current, even after a Java Update was installed. In ~/.zshrc, I set the variable like so:
In previous macOS versions, this was done in ~/.bash_profile. Now it’s done.

Since current Adobe installers and applications were built before these changes by Apple, Adobe software anticipates that Java is installed. Adobe and Apple have worked together to ensure that you can install Java at OS install time. Or it can be installed later before you install Adobe applications. At runtime, when you launch an Adobe application, you are prompted to install Java if it is not already installed. If you do not install Java before running an Adobe application, there can be missing or improperly behaving features. If you encounter any issues, install Java to correct the problems. Adobe recommends that corporate IT organizations pre install Java (or make sure that Java can be installed through their firewalls/security) to avoid conflicts with Adobe applications.
If the Java runtime is not installed, some issues that are known to occur include -
- Failure to launch.
- Install Java runtime prompts when you attempt to use the applications.
- Applications hang or quit.
