#PDFKEY PRO JAVA CONFIGURATIOIN MAC OS X#
How can I tell which version of macOS / OS X / Mac OS X I am running?A. OS X 10.7 or earlier = don't use Java and uninstall/disable it if it is installed.
#PDFKEY PRO JAVA CONFIGURATIOIN INSTALL#
OS X 10.8 to macOS 10.15 = (if you require Java) install Java SE v8 from Oracle.If Java is installed we now highly recommend installing Java SE v8 from Oracle as Apple phased out Java SE v6 support in October 2012 and Oracle phased out Java SE v7 support in January 2015. Which version of Java do you recommend?A. Java v6 was end of life February 2013 and no more updates were issued as of 15th October 2013.Java v7 was end of life January 2015 and no more updates were issued as of April 2015.Java v8 became end of life in January 2018 but is currently supported and updated with security updates until at least the end of December 2020.Java v9 has been replaced with Java v12 (April 2018 saw the start of the new version numbering scheme - vX.x.x).Java v10 has been replaced with Java v12.Java v11 is currently supported but is only available as a JDK developer edition.Java v12 is the latest Java version but is only available as a JDK developer edition.OS X 10.7 - Java SE v7 and/or v6 only for compatibility with older applications.OS X 10.8 + OS X 10.10 - Java SE v8 and/or v6 only for compatibility with older applications.OS X 10.11 to macOS 10.14 - Java SE v8 (but Java web browser plug-in not supported in Safari v12 or later) and/or v6 only for compatibility with older applications.macOS 10.15 - Java SE v8 (but Java web browser plug-in not supported in Safari v12 or later).Java SE versions supported by macOS / OS X / Mac OS X A 'Runtime Environment' (RE) that also allows you to run Java 'applications' directly within the operating system.NOTE: As of September 2018 most major browsers no longer support browser plug-ins so even if you install Java you may not be able to use the plug-in component.

An internet plug-in used to run Java 'applets' via the internet in a web browser e.g.

Java on a Mac consists of two primary software components:

In the past (Java SE v6 and earlier) Apple used to get the Java code from Oracle and write a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for Mac OS X themselves but as of 15th October 2013 this is no longer the case.
