WORKAROUND: Running NXT Client on OSX 10.6.X / Installing Java 7 on OSX 10.6.X

[LeFiste]

As you might have noticed the NXT client needs Java 7 to run, but OSX 10.6.x won't let you install Java 7. Here's a little workaround:

Go to

Code: [Select]

/System/Library/CoreServices
Edit

Code: [Select]

SystemVersion.plist
Change ProductUserVisibleVersion = 10.6.x and ProductVersion = 10.6.x to

Code: [Select]

ProductUserVisibleVersion = 10.7.8
ProductVersion = 10.7.8 Install JDK 7 and change SystemVersion.plist back to normal

Go to and open

Code: [Select]

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_40.jdkuncheck both Java 6 VMs. Now Java 7 will load first.
