Determining the version of Java SDK on the Mac

Question

I have a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard; how can I see what version of the Java SDK is installed on my Mac?

Answer 1

The simplest solution would be open terminal

$ java -version

it shows the following

java version "1.6.0_65"

2. Stefan's solution also works for me. Here's the exact input:

$ cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions

$ ls -l

Below is the last line of output:

lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel   59 Feb 12 14:57 CurrentJDK -> /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents

1.6.0.jdk would be the answer
