[xep-support] Re: Java 1.8 broke my xep install

Hmmm, the 1.8 install shouldn’t have removed your 1.6 installation.

It would, however, have changed your default java version.

As Mike S. noted, you can use the java_home utility to set your JAVA_HOME.

Run java_home manually to find out if 1.6 is still installed:

/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.6

Mike's example will set your JAVA_HOME to the current default version. If you want a different java version, use the ‘-v’ flag to specify it.

Eg.

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7)
