How can I install Java SE 6 on Mavericks?

[Andrew Pennebaker]

When I upgrade to Mavericks, it uninstalls Java 1.6. I can install Java 7, but for some applications and development work, I still need access to Java 6. How can I reinstall Java 6 in Mavericks?

Apple 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.

Read those "Apple docs" again.

Ah, Apple Support lists an installer for JDK 6 that works on Mountain Lion and Mavericks.

Could we please add it to the Jave SE 6 downloads at the Oracle archive? It would be nice to keep all the installers of Java 6 on one domain, for better organization.

Oops, double posted the same link. The Apple Support download is:

Oh, good, you read the docs again. Java 6 and below for the Mac has always been provided by Apple.

Whom are you asking?

This is not Oracle.

Furthermore, that is an Apple issue. Oracle doesn't support it. Why should they list it?

The Apple link installs Java SE 6 the JRE, not the JDK. Any clues about how to get a JDK 6 that will run on Mavericks?

OpenJDK maybe? That's what I used on the one Linux server I setup to
run JBoss.

Project status page is here: Looks like they have one port done and are
working on another (upgrade)

You may be looking for "Java for OS X 2013-005" at

If you want to add it to the Java Platforms in NetBeans, it's installed
in /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/

Mavericks is just a recent version of Apple OSX, right?
