When I navigate to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ I’m presented with an empty folder.
jar file from the terminal results in runtime errors due to the older version. jar files correctly when double-clicking them, but the terminal window’s version is still 1.6.0_43 and running the same. The problem I’m running into is, when I install Java 7 from Oracle’s website, it updates the preferences menu and appears to execute. Ok, I’m a bit new to Macs and OSX, but I picked one up so that I can do some troubleshooting on my Java programs with one since the company I work for uses a combination of OSX and Windows machines.
