If the older JDK isn't on your machine, you'd need to use the GUI and download the Java updater. The one closest to yours I could find was for Java 1.6.015 for Mac OS 10.5 (you didn't mention which Mac OS X version you were running): Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 5. I didn't see any for Mac OS X 10.6. Click Java SE Downloads A page, with this label in orange, will be displayed in your browser. Find the section labeled JDK 5.0 Update 8 and click its Download button (the fourth one from the top). Click Yes to the Security Window pop-up, if it appears. A page, with the label Download. Java EE 5 SDK for Mac OS v.Update 7 Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is the industry standard for developing portable, robust, scalable and secure server-side Java applications. Building on the solid foundation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE), Java EE. These downloads are intended for established users, and contain the latest IBM fixes and Oracle updates to the Java SE application programming interfaces (APIs). To take advantage of new capabilities in the SDK, users are encouraged to move to the latest version.
Apache NetBeans is much more than a text editor. It highlights source code syntactically and semantically, lets you easily refactor code, with a range of handy and powerful tools.
Apache NetBeans provides editors, wizards, and templates to help you create applications in Java, PHP and many other languages.
Apache NetBeans can be installed on all operating systems that support Java, i.e, Windows, Linux, Mac OSX and BSD. Write Once, Run Anywhere, applies to NetBeans too.

The Java Development Kit (JDK), officially named 'Java Platform Standard Edition' or 'Java SE', is needed for writing Java programs. The JDK is freely available from Sun Microsystems (now part of Oracle). The mother site for JDK (Java SE) is http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/overview/index.html.
'JDK' or 'JRE'?
JRE (Java Runtime) is needed for running Java programs. JDK (Java Development Kit), which includes JRE plus the development tools (such as compiler and debugger), is need for writing as well as running Java programs. In other words, JRE is a subset of JDK. Since you are supposed to write Java Programs, you should install JDK, which includes JRE.
JDK Versions
Reference: 'Java Version History' @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history.
Java Sdk Download MacHow To Install JDK on WindowsStep 0: Un-Install Older Version(s) of JDK/JRE
I recommend that you install only the latest JDK. Although you can install multiple versions of JDK/JRE concurrently, it is messy.
If you have previously installed older version(s) of JDK/JRE, un-install ALL of them. Goto 'Control Panel' ⇒ (optional) 'Programs' ⇒ 'Programs and Features' ⇒ Un-install ALL programs begin with 'Java', such as 'Java SE Development Kit ...', 'Java SE Runtime ...', 'Java X Update ...', and etc.
Step 1: Download JDK
Step 2: Install JDK
Run the downloaded installer (e.g., '
jdk-13.0.{x}_windows-x64_bin.exe '), which installs both the JDK and JRE.
By default, JDK is installed in directory '
C:Program FilesJavajdk-13.0.{x} ', where {x} denotes the update number. Accept the defaults and follow the screen instructions to install JDK.
Use your 'File Explorer', navigate to
'C:Program FilesJava' to inspect the sub-directories. Take note of your JDK installed directoryjdk-13.0.{x} , in particular, the update number {x} , which you will need in the next step.
I shall refer to the JDK installed directory as
<JAVA_HOME> , hereafter, in this article.
Step 3: Include JDK's 'bin' Directory in the PATH
Windows' Command Prompt (
CMD ) searches the current directory and the directories listed in the PATH environment variable (or system variable) for executable programs. JDK's programs (such as Java compiler 'javac.exe ' and Java runtime 'java.exe ') reside in the sub-directory 'bin ' of the JDK installed directory. You need to include JDK's 'bin ' in the PATH to run the JDK programs.
To edit the
PATH environment variable in Windows 10:
Note: If you have started CMD, you need to re-start for the new environment settings to take effect.
Step 4: Verify the JDK Installation
Launch a
CMD via one of the following means:
Issue the following commands to verify your JDK installation:
Step 5: Write a Hello-World Java Program
Step 6: Compile and Run the Hello-World Java Program
To compile the source code '
Hello.java ':
To run the program, invoke the Java Runtime ' java ':
Everything that can possibly go wrong will go wrong: Read 'JDK Installation Common Errors'.
Step 7: (For Advanced Users Only) JDK's Source Code
Source code for JDK is provided and kept in '
<JAVA_HOME>libsrc.zip ' (or '<JAVA_HOME>src.zip ' prior to JDK 9). I strongly recommend that you to go through some of the source files such as 'String.java ', 'Math.java ', and 'Integer.java ', under 'javalang ', to learn how experts program.
How to Install JDK on macOSStep 1: Check if JDK has been Pre-Installed
To check if JDK has been installed, open a 'Terminal' (Search 'Terminal'; or Finder ⇒ Go ⇒ Utilities ⇒ Terminal) and issue this command:
Step 2: Download JDK
Step 3: Install JDK/JRE![]()
Step 3: Write a Hello-World Java Program
Step 4: Compile and Run the Hello-World Java Program
How to Install JDK on Ubuntu
There are several JDK implementations available for Linux, such as Oracle JDK, OpenJDK, Sun JDK, IBM JDK and GNU Java Compiler. We shall choose the Oracle JDK 8. Ubuntu chooses OpenJDK as its default JDK, which is not 100% compatible with Oracle JDK.
Step 0: Check if JDK has already been Installed
Open a Terminal and issue this command:
If a JDK version number (e.g., '
javac x.x.x ') appears, JDK has already been installed. You can skip the installation and goto step 2.
To remove OpenJDK, issue command:
Step 1: Download and Install JDK
Step 2: Compile and Run a Hello-world Java Program

Notes:
How To Set JAVA_HOME Environment Variable
Many Java applications (such as Tomcat) require the environment variable
JAVA_HOME to be set to the JDK installed directory.

Common Errors in installing JDK(Advanced) External JAR Files and Native Libraries
Notes: This section is applicable to JDK prior to JDK 9. JDK 9 introduces a new level called 'module' on top of package, and '
jmod ' files for Java modules. Need to revise this section for JDK 9.
External Java packages (such as Servlet, MySQL Connector/J, JOGL, JUnit) are often distributed in JAR files (Java Archive - a single-file package of many Java classes), with possibly Native Libraries ('
.lib ' and '.dll ' in Windows, or '.a ' and '.so ' in Linux/macOS).
External JAR Files ('.jar')
If external JAR files are not properly included:
To include external JAR files, you can either:
External Native Libraries ('.lib', '.dll', '.a', '.so')![]()
Some external package may provide static or shared native libraries in the form of '
.lib ' (Windows' static LIBrary), '.dll ' (Windows' Dynamically Link Library), '.a ' (Unix's static (Archive) library), or '.so ' (Unix's Shared Object library).
Native Libraries are to be kept in a directory accessible via JRE's Property '
java.library.path ', which normally but not necessarily includes all the directories in the PATH environment variable.
Native libraries are not involved in the compilation. But if they are not properly included during runtime time, you will get a runtime error '
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no xxx in java.library.path '.
To include external native libraries:
Eclipse/NetBeans
Using an IDE can greatly simplifies inclusion of external packages. Read 'Eclipse How-To' or 'NetBeans How-To'.
