This is a tip in reference to Yosemite ´s users (10.10). Yosemite erase 1.6 apple jdk and install 1.seven, simply Java´s IDE for instance Intellij or Eclipse needs 1.6, if you haven´t reinstalled this version, your ide will crash at the beginning... subsequently this procedure you can configure your ide with 1.vii version.

Here the link : Apple tree JDK 1.6

It's easy to change Jetbrains' products to utilize jdk1.7:

  1. Open Application folder
  2. Choose Jetbrains product you employ
  3. RightClick and cull 'testify packet content' <- I dont know how exactly it is in english version of OS
  4. Choose Contents
  5. Double Click Info.plist

  6. Find:

    <key>JVMVersion</key> <cord>1.6*</string>

  7. and change to:

    <key>JVMVersion</central> <cord>ane.7*</cord>

  8. Save and quit,

  9. Enjoy!

  • people over at jetbrain do not recommend using version 1.7 for having several critical bug. In addition the discourage to modify Info.plist every bit it will prevent future updates. I'll better become for installing jdk ane.vi

  • Java 6 is deprecated on all recent Os X versions. Using it makes your Mac vulnerable to well known security bug. Neither Apple nor Oracle are providing security updates for Java 6 on Os Ten.

  • Unfortunately, those of us who need to employ this software for our livelihood do not have much choice until JetBrains updates their software.

  • Somehow it is a very difficult situation, because in many larger companies IT security policies disalow the usage of ancient Java half-dozen runtimes. Oracle sells nevertheless quarterly updated security patched Coffee-half dozen versions, simply AFAIK Apple is non deploying these security patches to Mac users. At the end of the solar day a crashing IDE is better as a hacked Mac. :-(

  • @JoergRuethschilling, could you transport me a link to where I may purchase a security-patched Java-6 version that will be what need on my Mac? That would exist the best solution to this question'southward trouble anyway.
