I need Java 6 in order to run some other programs. When I installed OS 10.13.2, it apparently deleted Java 6 and replaced it with a new version. Now when I try to re-install Java 6, I get a message saying that it will not install because a newer version of Java is installed. I have tried to un-install the current version of Java that is on my computer, but I get a message saying it cannot be uninstalled because it is required by the system. Is there any work-around that would enable me to install Java 6?
Mac mini, OS 10.13.2
I am unable to find a Java SDK download that is installable under Mac OSX 10.6. The new Java SDK 7 is specifically for Mac OSX Lion, and there does not seem to be a Java SDK 6 mac installer available for download (I'm guessing this is OSX 10.6 compatible). $ su -c 'yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk' The java-1.6.0-openjdk package contains just the Java Runtime Environment. If you want to develop Java programs then install the java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel package. For a list of pointers to packages of the BSD Port for DragonFly BSD, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, NetBSD and OpenBSD, please see the BSD. Java can run applications developed using the java programming language and set of development tools. The JVM is a crucial component of the Java platform. The availability of JVMs on many types of hardware and software platforms enables Java to function both as.

Java, a runtime environment that works 'behind the scenes' to let you use many Web sites, online services, and applications, is no longer built in with Macintosh operating systems. Apple's October 2012 software update removes the Java plugin from all Web browsers.
Following recent security vulnerabilities with Java, we recommend that Mac OS X users check their version of Java and keep it up-to-date. If Java is not installed, we recommend that you postpone installing it until absolutely necessary. If you currently have Java installed on your computer, but are not using it, we recommend disabling it. More...
