MacOS-specific software problems

I'm running MacOS 10.6, and it won't support Java 1.7. Do I have to update MacOS?

No! There is a workaround for installing Java JDK 1.7 on MacOS 10.6. You must be comfortable editing plist files in order to use this workaround.

  1. Go to:
    • /System/Library/CoreServices
  2. Edit:
    • SystemVersion.plist
  3. Change: ProductUserVisibleVersion = 10.6.x and ProductVersion = 10.6.x to:
    • ProductUserVisibleVersion = 10.7.8
    • ProductVersion = 10.7.8
  4. Install JDK 7 and change SystemVersion.plist back to normal
  5. Go to and open /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_40.jdk
  6. Uncheck both Java 6 VMs. Now Java 7 will load first.
