I just removed the Mac app from the download page because the packaging system we have been using to create our downloads was designed for Apple Java distributions which ended with Java 6. As a result, our Mac app packaging does not work with Java JDK distributions for the Mac created by Oracle. I see the code above, but I don't know what I should cut and paste from above. Could you walk me through it as if I were a third grader? Thanks so much in advance. I upgraded to Catalina and I'm having the same problem you had. Can't get Java SE 6 to install. Get the message: can't install newer version already exist. Compiling and running a Java application on Mac OSX, or any major operating system, is very easy. Apple includes a fully-functional Java runtime and development environment out-of-the-box with OSX, so all you have to do is write a Java program and use the built-in tools to compile and run it. Mac users installing or updating to the latest version Java are finding their shinies infected with the 'much loved' Ask Toolbar. This thing returns poor, ad-infested results, and silently changes. If you run into problems installing Java on Windows 7 or Windows 8, try installing Java as an administrator. To do so, download the offline installer and save it to an empty folder on your hard disk.
