Java 1.8 Mac



JDK 9 & Later

Oracle's OpenJDK JDK binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux areavailable on release-specific pages of jdk.java.net as .tar.gz or.zip archives.

Java 32 and 64 bit enables developers to create software on one platform (Java Platform) and provide it to users running almost any other platform (Windows, Mac, Linux, Solaris or Unix).

As an example, the archives for JDK 13 may be found on jdk.java.net/13 and may be extractedon the command line using

  1. Mac Download and Installation Oracle Java can be installed on Mac versions 10.7.3 or later. A 64-bit browser (Safari, for example) is required to run Oracle Java on Mac.
  2. FreeCol has some problems running on Mac OS X, so you should save your game frequently. Users that know how to start a java program can download freecol-0.11.6-installer.jar.
