Java For macOS / Bone X / Mac OS X information, download/update links and security settings with instructions for disabling Java (plug-ins).

Java for macOS / Bone Ten / Mac OS X

Coffee is a programming language that allows awarding/software to run on different operating systems (east.g. macOS / OS X / Mac OS 10, Windows, Linux, Solaris) as long every bit a Java Runtime Surround is installed on the target operating arrangement. Java can as well exist found on web sites where "applet" code downloaded from the spider web site server will run locally on your computer via a web browser plug-in. There are different installations of Java depending on your usage requirement eastward.grand. general user, programmer, etc. The nearly common installation is the Standard Edition (SE) which is for general users.
NOTE:

Because Java runs applications in the OS and in spider web browsers information technology is a common set on vector for malware and viruses.
Java should not exist confused with JavaScript which is a completely carve up/different scripting language used on web sites/the net.
Java is now endemic and maintained past Oracle.
As of the quaternary March 2015 (Coffee 8 Update 40) Oracle is now bundling adware with their Java installer.
Apple's Safari v12 and later on (September 2018 - macOS x.12 or afterward) no longer supports the legacy Coffee plug-in and nor do any other major browsers (Fireefox, Chrome, etc).

In the past (Java SE v6 and earlier) Apple used to become the Java code from Oracle and write a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for Mac OS 10 themselves but as of 15th October 2013 this is no longer the case. Java on a Mac consists of ii primary software components:

An internet plug-in used to run Java "applets" via the internet in a web browser e.one thousand. some banking web sites.

NOTE

A "Runtime Environment" (RE) that also allows you lot to run Coffee "applications" straight inside the operating system.

Java SE versions supported by macOS / OS 10 / Mac Os Ten

macOS 10.15 + macOS 11 - Java SE v8 (but Java web browser plug-in not supported in Safari v12 or later)
OS 10 10.11 to macOS ten.14 - Java SE v8 (only Java web browser plug-in not supported in Safari v12 or later) and/or v6 only for compatibility with older applications
Bone X 10.8 + OS X 10.10 - Coffee SE v8 and/or v6 only for compatibility with older applications
OS X 10.seven - Coffee SE v7 and/or v6 but for compatibility with older applications
Mac OS X 10.6 - Java SE v6
Mac OS X 10.5 or earlier - Java SE v5

Java v12 is the latest Java version only is simply available as a JDK developer edition
Java v11 is currently supported but is merely available every bit a JDK programmer edition
Java v10 has been replaced with Java v12
Coffee v9 has been replaced with Java v12 (April 2018 saw the start of the new version numbering scheme - vX.x.x)
Java v8 became finish of life in Jan 2018 but is currently supported and updated with security updates until at least the cease of Dec 2020

Coffee v7 was end of life January 2015 and no more updates were issued as of April 2015

Java v6 was stop of life February 2013 and no more updates were issued as of 15th October 2013

Java v5 is no longer updated

Q. Which version of Java do you lot recommend?

A. If y'all don't demand Java don't install information technology. If Java is installed we now highly recommend installing Java SE v8 from Oracle as Apple phased out Java SE v6 support in October 2012 and Oracle phased out Coffee SE v7 support in January 2015. So if you are running:

Os X ten.viii to macOS 11 = (if you require Java) install Coffee SE v8 from Oracle.
OS X x.7 or earlier = don't use Java and uninstall/disable it if information technology is installed.

Q. How can I tell which version of macOS / Os Ten / Mac OS X I am running?

A. Go to Apple tree carte (top left) > Nigh This Mac > check the version reported for macOS / Os X / Mac Bone Ten.

Q. How can I tell if a Java SE is installed on my Macintosh?

A. Follow these steps:

Go to Apple tree bill of fare > Organisation Preferences > Java (if a Java Preference pane exists you have Java SE v7 or subsequently installed - y'all can get information on the version installed by going to the General tab and clicking "About…")
If you lot do not have a Java Preference pane become to Macintosh Hard disk > Applications > Utilities > Terminal
Enter the following commmand:

sudo /usr/libexec/java_home

Enter your computer's ambassador countersign

NOTE: This Terminal command will report whatever versions of Java SE v6 or earlier that are installed on your calculator. If none are listed you lot do non have Java installed.

Q. How practice I keep Java SE v6 upwardly to date on Os X / Mac Os X (if it is installed)?

A. The last update produced by Apple is Java SE v6 v1.6.0_65 back in 2013 and so it is at present very insecure - it is bachelor for Bone X ten.seven to macOS 10.xiii just as a means of support for legacy applications like Adobe Artistic Suite - you should only install Java for macOS 2017-001 if y'all specifically need it to run onetime applications that require it. If you lot demand a secure version of Java and you take:

Os Ten 10.viii to macOS 11 = install Java SE v8 from Oracle.
OS X x.7 or earlier = don't use Java and uninstall/disable information technology if it is installed.

Q. How do I keep Coffee SE v8 or later upward to appointment on macOS / OS X (if information technology is installed)?

Q. I have Java SE v7. How do I update it to v8/v11?

A. Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Java > Update tab and tick "Check for Updates Automatically".
See also this How do I update Java for my Mac? article from Oracle.
As of the 20th January 2015 Java auto-update will update Java SE v7 to v8.

Q. Now that Oracle have released Java SE v12 is v8 end of life/insecure?

Q. Which versions of Java are no longer supported/insecure?

A. Oracle provides a Java SE Support Roadmap. You can check the dates that Java SE versions get cease of life/no longer supported/insecure but basically:

Java v12 is the latest Java version but is but available as a JDK developer edition
Java v11 is currently supported simply is just available as a JDK developer edition
Coffee v10 has been replaced with Java v12
Java v9 has been replaced with Java v12 (Apr 2018 saw the start of the new version numbering scheme - vX.x.ten)
Coffee v8 became end of life in January 2018 but is currently supported and updated with security updates until at least the terminate of December 2020

Java v7 was terminate of life January 2015 and no more updates were issued equally of April 2015

Java v6 was finish of life February 2013 and no more updates were issued as of 15th October 2013

Java v5 is no longer updated

Q. I need Java and I've installed Java SE v7/v8/v9/v10/v11/v12 but my Java software specifically needs SE v6. Is there annihilation I can exercise?

A. Yes, you can downgrade v7/v8/v9/v10/v11/v12 to v6 by post-obit the instructions in this Apple support document to disable Java SE v7 and re-enable Java SE v6 (but note that Java SE v6 is no longer supported for security updates so only practise this if you lot admittedly must for Coffee compatibility). macOS x.15 or subsequently do non support Java SE v6 at all.

Java Notes

Java was included equally standard with Mac OS X 10.6 or earlier - it cannot hands exist removed only it can be disabled.
A Java SE is non included as standard with OS 10 x.7 or later but it may include a Java plug-in (and then yous are recommended to disable this plug-in if you don't employ Java on the internet).
macOS 10.15 or later on do not back up Coffee SE v6 at all.
Java SE v6 is required for some old software applications such equally Adobe Creative Suite.
If you lot have Os Ten 10.7 to OS X 10.10 and you try to run an application that requires Coffee SE v6, OS X / macOS can automatically install Java for macOS 2017-001 - permission volition exist asked outset and it is not a silent install.
If you have OS X 10.11 to macOS 10.14 and you effort to run an awarding that requires Coffee SE v6, OS X / macOS will not automatically install it for you - Os 10 / macOS will direct you to download and manually install Java for macOS 2017-001.
If y'all have macOS 10.15 or later Coffee SE v6 is not supported and a later Coffee SE volition need to be manually installed if you require information technology.
If you upgrade the macOS / OS X / Mac Bone X operating system Coffee SE v6 is removed and needs to be reinstalled.

Java Security for Mac Users > How To Disable/Secure Java

Java SE v6 and earlier are cease of life and are no longer supported/updated. If you are running Mac Bone X x.vi or before you lot are recommended to disable Java and read up on securing older operating systems.

Q. How can I tell which version of macOS / Os X / Mac Os X I am running?

A. Go to Apple tree bill of fare (summit left) > Nearly This Mac > check the version reported for macOS / Os X / Mac OS X.
