macos – 10.8. Java Web Start and native (Apple) Java 1.6 in 2 cannot find JRE
I'm trying to run some on the latest OS - X JNLP application (game) When doing so, Java Web start App suggests that I install the Java runtime environment (jre_7u9) Shouldn't it already be included in OS-X, Java 1.6? As an example, I use Java - based eclipse and have no problem running it I'm just worried that the new version will mess up what has worked well so far (see a few threads, people have problems after installing Java 7, even if they use the mail application!)
I know little about Java, so if someone can point out that I don't need to install JRE_ 7u9's solution, that would be great
Thanks and greetings in advance, Dennis
EDIT1:
It seems that user / bin / javaws is pointing in the wrong direction:
javaws No Java runtime present,requesting install. Unable to locate a Java Runtime to invoke.
That is:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/javaws
If I change it to (so recommended) http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559 )
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Commands/javaws
It does work, but it doesn't help Java Web start App runs normally, it still needs to install JRE, which is nonsense
The P / S / this thread discusses the same problem This one, too But so far, I haven't seen any solution that makes Java Web start work
