Download Java Development Kit (jdk) For Mac Os X



Question & Answer

Since January 9, 2019, JDK 8 downloads have required an oracle developer account, so we went ahead and repo'd all the downloads here instead. A newer version of JDK. When you install the Java Development Kit (JDK), the associated Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed at the same time. The JavaFX SDK and Runtime are also installed and integrated into the standard JDK directory structure. Depending on your processor, the downloaded file has one of the following names: jdk-8u version-macosx-amd64.dmg. The IBM ® SDK, Java ™ Technology Edition, Version 8 ™ is the latest release of the IBM Developer Kit and is fully compatible with the Oracle Platform Java Standard Edition (Java SE) 8 application programming interfaces (APIs). Note that the Mac OS X app only works With the Apple Java 6 JDK. Oracle java 7 (and early release java 8) JDK distributions are not compatible With the Drjava Mac OX X app because Apple and Oracle use different app launchers.

    JAVA_HOME=/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/JavaVM/jdk80/64bit


Examples of how to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable:


  • To change the default JDK system-wide to JDK 8.0 32bit
    ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(JAVA_HOME) VALUE('/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/JavaVM/jdk80/32bit') LEVEL(*SYS)
    To change the current job to JDK 8.0 64bit

  • Installing JDK 8.0 From An Image Catalog


    You will want to download the zip files to your PC per the instructions above, create the directory /jdk8 (MKDIR '/jdk8') on your IBM i server, and transfer the zip files to the IFS directory, /jdk8, (use a mapped network drive, FTP, or iNav connection).
    Please refer to the following file names based on your IBM i OS VRM you have downloaded these LPPs for.
    File Names:
    IBM i 7.1:
    Developer Kit for Java 8.0 32bit - Developer_Kit_for_Java_8_32bit_5761_JV1_LCD8_2271_00.iso.ZIP
    Developer Kit for Java 8.0 64bit - Developer_Kit_for_Java_8_64bit_5761_JV1_LCD8_2272_00.iso.ZIP
    IBM i 7.2 and later:
    Developer Kit for Java 8.0 32bit - Developer_Kit_for_Java_8_32bit_5770_JV1_LCD8_2273_00.iso.ZIP
    Developer Kit for Java 8.0 64bit - Developer_Kit_for_Java_8_64bit_5770_JV1_LCD8_2274_00.iso.ZIP
    Then, unzip the files to extract the ISO image files.
    NOTE: The following commands use the file names for IBM i 7.2 and later. If you are installing on IBM i 7.1 OS, you will need to change the file names in the commands below accordingly using the file names above for IBM i 7.1.
    1) STRQSH
    2) cd /jdk8
    3) jar xvf Developer_Kit_for_Java_8_32bit_5770_JV1_LCD8_2273_00.iso.ZIP
    4) jar xvf Developer_Kit_for_Java_8_64bit_5770_JV1_LCD8_2274_00.iso.ZIP
    Once the ISO image files have been extracted from the zip files, use the instructions below for installing JDK 8.0 using an image catalog.
    5) CHGOPTA EXTMEDFMT(*YES)
    Important Note: The CHGOPTA command must be issued before the LODIMGCLG command shown below. If it is issued after the LODIMGCLG command, you will need to re-load the catalog.
    6) CRTIMGCLG IMGCLG(jdk8) DIR('/jdk8/IMAGE') CRTDIR(*YES)
    7) ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(jdk8) FROMFILE('/jdk8/Developer_Kit_for_Java_8_32bit_5770_JV1_LCD8_2273_00.iso') TOFILE(*fromfile)
    8) ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(jdk8) FROMFILE('/jdk8/Developer_Kit_for_Java_8_64bit_5770_JV1_LCD8_2274_00.iso') TOFILE(*fromfile)
    9) CRTDEVOPT DEVD(OPTVRT01) RSRCNAME(*VRT) NOTE: If the OPTVRT01 device description already exists, please continue to the next step.
    10) VRYCFG CFGOBJ(OPTVRT01) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*ON)
    11) LODIMGCLG IMGCLG(jdk8) DEV(OPTVRT01)
    12) Ensure the Developer_Kit_for_Java_8_32bit image is mounted in WRKIMGCLGE IMGCLG(jdk8). You can enter option 6 next to the image to mount it.
    13) RSTLICPGM LICPGM(57xxJV1) OPTION(16) RSTOBJ(*PGM) DEV(OPTVRT01)
    14) Ensure the Developer_Kit_for_Java_8_64bit image is mounted in WRKIMGCLGE IMGCLG(jdk8). You can enter option 6 next to the image to mount it.
    15) RSTLICPGM LICPGM(57xxJV1) OPTION(17) RSTOBJ(*PGM) DEV(OPTVRT01)
    Finally, download and install the latest IBM i Java Group PTF to complete the LPP installation.
