I was able to install parts of Java 6, with an Apple Support update. How can I reinstall Java 6 in Mavericks?Īpple docs generally recommend downloading Java directly from Oracle, but I don't see a Mac version listed on the Oracle download page for Java SE 6. I can install Java 7, but for some applications and development work, I still need access to Java 6.

When I upgrade to Mavericks, it uninstalls Java 1.6.
