So I installed Java 7 and verified that it was installed Java now shows up under System preferences. However when I run java -version it still returns
java version "1.6.0_65
How do i fix this so that my computer points to the correct version? Also, is this a problem in the future if i choose to not fix this?
Thanks
You need to set your java 7 directory bin path to system PATH
variable. As you are using Mac OS, use this article to set path correctly:
Use the following command to list the installed versions of Java:
/usr/libexec/java_home -V
From the output of the above command, copy the path for the version of Java you want to use.
Open up your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc file and add/edit the line:
export JAVA_HOME=/Path/copied/from/step/2
In your terminal, reload the the file you edited in the previous step using the corresponding command below:
source ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bashrc
Now, you should see the the correct version of Java on the command line:
java -version
