Install JDeveloper on Mac

Guest Author

There is a very important trick to play before installing Oracle JDeveloper on a Mac. Basically you need to fool the JDEV installer to believe the java on your Mac is like those on Unix/Linux box.

cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/

sudo mkdir -p jre/lib

cd jre/lib

sudo ln -s ../../../Classes/classes.jar rt.jar
